The police are reporting that a teenager who was nabbed last Monday after allegedly robbing a cellular phone in downtown Kingston has now been linked to another crime in the area.

According to the Kingston Western Police, while in custody on a charge of robbery with aggravation, investigations revealed that the teen had been fingered in a March 2019 incident of shopbreaking and larceny that was committed at a bar on Pechon Street in Kingston.

As a result, the teenager, who has been identified as 19-year-old Adrian McKnight of Oakland Road, Kingston 11, has been slapped with additional charges of shopbreaking and larceny.

He is to appear in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court in the coming week.
