Men charged over robbery at school in Manchester

Two men have been charged in relation to a robbery of a school in Manchester.

Shyvon Brown, 32, otherwise called 'Junkie', a construction worker of Grove Place district, is charged with school house breaking and larceny and 28-year-old phone technician Ahbogo King of Ellen Street is charged with receiving stolen property.

They are scheduled to appear in the Manchester Parish Court on Wednesday, February 28.

Reports from the Mile Gully police are that about 5:30 p.m. on Friday, February 09, staff members securely locked the school's administrative office and left.

The principal returned about 6:30 a.m. the following Monday and discovered that the lock was removed and the office was broken into.

Several tablets, a phone, a laptop, and a large quantity of food items were stolen.

Acting on information, lawmen conducted an operation on Sunday, February 18, during which Brown was held and the stolen items recovered.

He later led them to King's business place, where two tablets were found in his possession.

King was taken into custody and both men were charged.
