Twenty-eight-year-old Audley Graham of Bogue Hill, St James, has been charged with house breaking and larceny after he allegedly stole items from a church hall on July 15.
The Montego Bay police say the church hall was securely locked on July 14, but when the priest arrived there the next morning he discovered a door breached and a number of items missing.
The missing items included a Stihl chainsaw valued at $55,000; Ulefone Armor 3W cell phone valued at £300; a portable charger and jump starter valued US$58; and €200.
A report was made to the police and an investigation launched.
A review of the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage was conducted and Graham was reportedly seen committing the offences.
He was subsequently arrested and charged.
His court date is being arranged.
