Jamaica eye technology helps police recover stolen vehicle

Joint efforts of the Matilda’s Corner Police and the Police Emergency Communication Centre (PECC) resulted in the recovery of a stolen motor vehicle on Old Hope Road, Kingston 5 on Friday.

Police reports are that in mid-January the owner of a 2015 grey Toyota Noah motor vehicle contracted his vehicle to a man who required it for his company’s fleet.

After six weeks without any communication from the man, the owner reported the matter at the Spaulding Police Station on Friday.

The matter was escalated to the Police Emergency Communication Centre (PECC) about 4:20 p.m., and a description of the vehicle given.

Following the utilisation of the Jamaica Eye technology, a team of officers assigned to the Matilda’s Corner Police Station were alerted to two men travelling along Old Hope Road in a vehicle fitting the description.

The vehicle was intercepted and recovered at 4:30 p.m., and the men aboard taken into custody.

Their identities are being withheld pending further investigation.
