Manchester Robbers Charged

The Christiana Police have laid several charges against three Manchester men who were held in relation to a robbery at a bar in Fine Grass district, in the parish on Sunday, April 07.

Charged with three counts of Robbery with Aggravation, three counts of Unauthorised Possession of Ammunition and Possession of Prohibited Weapon are 23-year-old construction worker Jovaun Levy otherwise called ‘Joo’ and Osani Tulloch otherwise called ‘Sanie’ of Sedburg and Sheilds Bush districts respectively. Their co-accused 19-year-old Shamar Foster otherwise called ‘TJ’ of Ballynure district also in the parish had the said charges laid against him.

Reports from the police are that about 9:00 p.m., two men, one armed with a firearm and the other with a crowbar, held up and robbed patrons of an undetermined sum of cash, cell phones, liquor and three poker machines with a combined value of over 2 million before escaping in a waiting Toyota Voxy motor vehicle.

The police were alerted, and they managed to intercept the getaway car along the Sedburg main road also in the parish. The vehicle was searched, and two cellular phones were recovered. The men then led the police to an abandoned building in the Hopewell community, where a 9mm pistol with a magazine containing three rounds as well as the other stolen properties were recovered.

Levy, Tulloch and Foster were taken into custody where they were charged after question and answer sessions in the presence of Justices of the Peace and they each provided a statement indicating the role they played in the robbery.

They are scheduled to appear in the Mandeville Parish Court on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
