St. Andrew, Jamaica — A teenage boy has been charged in connection with an armed robbery that took place on Chatham Avenue in St. Andrew earlier this year.
The teen is facing multiple charges, including robbery with aggravation, possession of a prohibited weapon, and unauthorized possession of ammunition.
According to reports from the Half-Way-Tree Police, the incident occurred around 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 12. A man was walking along the roadway when he was approached by the teen and another individual on a motorcycle. Police say the teen brandished a firearm, demanded the victim’s cellphone, and then fled the scene with his accomplice.
A report was filed, and the teen was later arrested during a targeted police operation. He was formally charged on Tuesday, June 3, following a question-and-answer session conducted in the presence of his attorney.
A court date is currently being arranged.
