A St James shopkeeper has been arrested and charged by the police following the discovery of two female wards of the State, who recently escape group home, at a shop which he operates in Retirement, St James.
The accused man, 39-year-old Prince Mckenzie, has since been charged with Harbouring a Child on A Fit Person Order.
Reports by the Granville police are that about 9:00pm, they received information from the Child Protection and Family Services Agency that the two run-away Wards were at a location in their police Division.
An investigation was carried out and the two under aged girls were discovered inside Mckenzie’s premise, and he was arrested and charged.
The girls will be brought before the St James Family Court this Friday, while the accused is to appear before the St James Parish Court at a later date.
