Police have arrested and jointly charged 24-year-old Damien Henry of Bathlodge and 20-year-old Terry Williams of Nut Grove in connection with a larceny at Valley Church Beach.
Around 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2, beach security personnel at Valley Church Beach contacted the Bolans Police Station and reported that two visitors had their bag stolen while they were swimming.
It was further reported that a young male stole the visitors’ bag and fled the area in an orange Honda Fit motor car.
As a result of a coordinated response between the Bolans Police Station and the Johnson’s Point Police Station, the vehicle was intercepted at Johnson’s Point with both men onboard. The bag along with its contents, were recovered by police.
Henry and Williams were arrested, taken into custody, and are now formally charged with the offence. They were scheduled to appear before the court Wednesday to answer to the charge.
The Police Administration commends the officers for their swift action and reminds residents and visitors to remain vigilant at beaches and other public areas.
