Two Security Guards Charged In Mysterious Disappearance Of J$13M
Two security guards – Alano Harris and Gladston Dixon – employed to Atlas Security Company, were arrested and charged jointly on Friday with larceny and conspiracy to steal J$13 million. The two were among six Atlas Security Guards who were detained last month in connection with the disappearance of the money from an armoured vehicle that was parked at Atlas Security Company’s base. The other four guards were released.
According to reports, Dixon (who is a courier), reportedly loaded eight bags of money onto the armoured vehicle. However, later that morning, one of the bags containing $13 million was missing. Dixon and Harris were arrested and charged after several days of intensive investigations.
They are currently being held in custody without bail, and are scheduled to appear in the Corporate Area Criminal Court tomorrow (January 12, 2010).
