Four men remain in police custody after residents attacked them following an alleged break-in at a shop and bar in Abraham district, near Santa Cruz, St Elizabeth, early Wednesday morning.
Residents also set fire to a car in which the men were reportedly travelling.
According to a preliminary police report, the business owner secured the establishment sometime after 4 p.m. on Tuesday. About 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, residents woke him and reported that men had broken into the premises.
Residents told investigators they heard unusual sounds coming from the business and went to investigate. They reportedly saw two men breaking into the establishment, allegedly targeting poker boxes.
The residents attacked the two men, striking them several times before alerting the police. Two other men were also held and handed over to officers.
Video footage of the incident appears to show a vehicle burning with a crowd gathered nearby.
