KINGSTON, Jamaica — Police have confirmed that a portion of the cash stolen during Monday’s armed robbery of a security courier vehicle on Old Hope Road in St Andrew was also recovered.

Head of the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s (JCF) Corporate Communications Network (CCN), Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dahlia Garrick, told Observer Online that some money was found inside the stolen vehicle, which was subsequently recovered in the vicinity of Blue Castle Drive, off Old Hope Road.

However, Garrick said the exact amount recovered remains undetermined as investigators work to establish how much money was stolen.

“There was an undetermined sum of money. It was, in fact, a courier service for a security company, and they are responsible for the collection of money. So there was an undetermined amount of money in the vehicle. The vehicle was recovered, and some money was recovered. So investigations are now on the way to determine how much was taken from the vehicle as some monies were recovered with the vehicle,” Garrick said.

Reports are that the security team had gone to collect cash at a plaza on Old Hope Road when they were ambushed by gunmen who made off with the courier vehicle.

The vehicle was later recovered in the vicinity of Blue Castle Drive. A shotgun was also reportedly recovered.

No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.

Garrick is appealing to anyone with information that could assist investigators to contact the nearest police station, call 119 or Crime Stop at 311.
