Three men were arrested and charged with robbery with aggravation and illegal possession of firearm following an incident at a supermarket in Orange Lane, Montego Bay, St James on July 31.
Charged are: Doni Malcolm, 25, otherwise called ‘CJ’, of Paradise Row; Nathan Campbell, 29, otherwise called ‘Bubinile’, a chef also of Paradise Row; and Matthew Reid, 27, of William Street in Montego Bay, St James.
Reports from the police are that about 10:44am, all three men entered the supermarket where they allegedly robbed the owner of several cartons of cigarettes and $100,000 before escaping in a Toyota Fielder motor car.
A report was made to the police who subsequently conducted an intelligence-led vehicular check point operation along the Unity Hall main road in the parish, where a vehicle fitting the description of the one the alleged robbers were travelling in was seen.
