Six men, including an alleged serial thief, have been arrested and charged following investigations into several break-ins and thefts across St Mary.
Among those charged is 25-year-old Christopher Howell, also known as “Young Boss,” of Heywood Hall, St Mary, and Papine, St Andrew.
Howell is accused of breaking into a sports bar in Port Maria in May and stealing gaming machines valued at approximately $1 million, along with an undetermined amount of cash.
St Mary Police Commanding Officer, Superintendent Anthony Wallace, described Howell’s arrest as a major breakthrough, noting that he is also a suspect in another shopbreaking incident in Highgate.
Five other men, Dimitri French, Howard Flemmings, Joseph Rose, Deyon McLeod and Ralston Whyte, have been charged in connection with separate incidents involving burglary, larceny and receiving stolen property.
Wallace credited cooperation between residents and the police for the progress made in tackling crime across the parish.
Investigations are continuing.
