Update | Two St Catherine men granted bail in alleged stolen vehicle scrapping case
Loading article...
Two St Catherine men charged over the alleged theft and scrapping of a motor vehicle were on Friday granted bail in the parish court.
Fabian Williams was offered bail in the sum of $500,000 with surety, while Tian Edwards was granted $300,000 with surety.
They are charged with larceny of a motor vehicle.
The accused were ordered by Acting Senior Parish Court Judge Janelle Nelson-Gayle to report to the Linstead Police Station Mondays to Fridays and return to court on May 1.
The bail application was made by attorneys-at-law Earl Hamilton and Akheme Harris.
Allegations are that on January 21, 2026, police personnel assigned to the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime unit conducted an intelligence-driven operation in St Catherine.
During the operation, Williams was held, and he reportedly took the personnel to a secluded area where a Toyota Voxy, which had been reported stolen, was observed partially scrapped.
He allegedly told the police that he and Edwards were “involved” in the scrapping of the vehicle.
Both men were taken into custody and were charged after the registered owner identified the vehicle.
