A St. Ann man who was held with stolen items in the parish
last week is to face court after he was formally charged by
detectives on Tuesday, September 20.
He is 26-year-old Javier Amos, a hotel worker of Lancewood
in Ocho Rios, St. Ann.
Reports are that about 3:00 p.m., on Tuesday, September 13,
police were on patrol when they accosted the accused and
searched him. He was found with several items that matched
the description of goods that were reported stolen from a
house in Lancewood District in Ocho Rios in the parish earlier
that day. When Amos could not account for the
items—which included coins, snacks, a blow dryer and a
radio—he was arrested.
According to police, during the investigation that followed,
Amos was implicated in a second incident of housebreaking
in the same community that occurred about 10:00 a.m. that
same day. In that incident, the occupants reported that the
culprit broke a grille, entered and stole underwear, cologne
and J$50,000. Amos was charged on Tuesday, September 20
after he was interviewed. His court date is being finalized.
