Woman arrested as cops foil goat robbery in St Thomas

One woman is now in police custody after the Morant Bay police thwarted the efforts of another group of goat thieves, during a vehicular check operation in Whitehorse, St. Thomas on Saturday, October 3.

Police reports are that about 4 p.m., a police team was on operation in the area, when a red Toyota Wish motor car was signalled to stop.

After complying with instruction, four occupants alighted from the vehicle and fled.

However, a woman was held.

Upon further investigations, members of the police team searched the motor car and found three goats inside.

The woman, who is of a Waterford, St. Catherine address, was arrested and remains in police custody, as the search for the other suspects continues.

The Morant Bay police are urging residents who had their goats stolen recently to contact them at 876-982-1027.
