Jamaica Crime Report: Two St Mary men charged for allegedly using counterfeit US currency.
Two men from St. Mary have been charged for allegedly using counterfeit United States currency. They used the counterfeit currency to make purchases at a business establishment in Oracabessa.
The individuals charged are 25-year-old shop operator Kevin Farquharson, also known as ‘Lewis’, from the Clarks Town district in Retreat. Additionally, 29-year-old construction worker Robert Gray from the Three Hills district in Retreat was charged.
Both men face charges of possession of counterfeit notes, uttering counterfeit notes, and obtaining goods by false pretenses. This follows an incident on Monday, March 30.
According to reports from the Oracabessa police, around 1:00 a.m., the men ordered several items, each costing $2,050. They paid with two counterfeit US$50 notes. Afterward, they received their change in Jamaican currency before leaving the establishment.
Afterward, checks revealed that the US notes were counterfeit, which prompted a report to the police. The men returned to the establishment on Wednesday, April 1, at which point the authorities were notified.
Upon arrival, law enforcement officials took both individuals into custody, and they were later charged. Their court appearance date is pending.
