Thieves reportedly steal cash-loaded courier vehicle on Hope Road

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Thieves reportedly stole a cash-loaded courier vehicle belonging to a security company on Hope Road in St Andrew, the Jamaica Observer understands.

The vehicle reportedly went to pick up money from a popular fast food establishment when the heist occurred.

It is still to be officially confirmed, but it is alleged that armed guards exited the vehicle when it arrived at the popular fast food establishment on Hope Road to pick up the yield for the day.

While that was happening, the thieves hijacked the vehicle and made off with money that the couriers had previously picked up for the day from other establishments.

More details to follow.
