The St Elizabeth police have arrested and charged one man for breaking into a school canteen in the parish of St Elizabeth on January 19, and stole over $20,000 worth of groceries.
Charged with Breaking and Entering and Larceny is 34-year-old Macoy Stephenson, otherwise called ‘Ratty’ of Ridge District also in St Elizabeth.
