St Elizabeth woman charged for allegedly breaking into shop and stealing cash

Twenty-two-year-old Keniece Johnson, otherwise called 'Kim', was charged with house breaking and larceny after reportedly stealing money from a shop in her community of North Hampton in St Elizabeth, on November 5.

The customer service representative was charged on Wednesday following a question-and-answer session in the presence of her attorney.

It's reported that after a shop owner locked and left his business establishment, he received a call that Johnson was seen inside the shop.

On his return to the shop, he noticed a window was open and signs that someone had entered through the back door of the premises.

He made further checks and realised that money was stolen.

A report was made to the police and an investigation launched. Johnson was arrested on Tuesday.
