A St Andrew man accused of stealing a gold-colored chain valued at US$2 from a tourist, had his bail application denied. Also, the judge issued a strong warning to the accused: "We have a serious responsibility and message to convey, even though it involves just two US dollars. We cannot take this lightly. You approached a visitor who helps support our economy, and you robbed her of her chain, so there will be no bail!" Judge Smith stated. In another incident, on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, two business associates from Harbor View in Kingston, Jamaica, became involved in a domestic dispute that escalated into violence.
