Kingston men charged for robbery in St Thomas

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) said its officers in St Thomas have charged two construction workers with Robbery with Aggravation following the robbery of a female on Belvedere main road in Morant Bay.

The incident took place on Saturday, June 15.

Those charged are 30-year-old Andre Marriott from Harriman Close in Kingston 6, and 22-year-old Ritchie Grant from Mills Borough in the Barbican area of Kingston 8.
