KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Police Commissioner Major General Antony Anderson says investigations are ongoing into last week’s multibillion-dollar heist at an automated teller machine in the central parish of St. Catherine.
Speaking at a recent function in the Corporate Area, Anderson promised that the police would soon make a breakthrough in the armed robbery on March 19, which left five persons wounded, including four security guards and a licensed firearm holder.
According to Anderson, the suspects have been detained about the incident, and “we should have some good breakthroughs shortly.”
The Commissioner also signaled that changes are coming about in the handling of large amounts of cash by security guards.
He said there should be uniformity in the procedures for security guards who transport cash. Accordingly, security industry members will collectively develop new standards, which will then be further discussed with the police, who will have “our input into how the whole operation of the movement of large amounts of cash is going to take place….”
He said the standards would also be discussed with the Jamaica Bankers Association to ensure a shared understanding and approach to the challenge.
