Vendor charged after allegedly stealing $350,000 from motor car in Kingston
A vendor has been charged with simple larceny following an incident along Ocean Boulevard, downtown Kingston on Friday.
Charged is 45-year-old Craig Talbot of Phase 1 Seaview Gardens Housing Scheme in the parish.
Reports from the Central police are that about 2:00 pm, a man securely locked his motor car and went to conduct business. Upon his return, he saw a man exiting his vehicle and entering a Toyota Corolla motor car, which sped away from the scene. He checked his vehicle and discovered that money, which he had withdrawn from a bank earlier, was missing.
The man contacted the police, and the car was intercepted by a team from the St Andrew South Police Division with Talbot and another man aboard.
The vehicle and both men were searched and over $350,000.00 along with three cellular phones were found inside the vehicle. The man later identified Talbot as the man he saw exiting his car earlier.
Talbot was arrested and charged for the offences and is slated to face the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on April 28.
