Twenty-year-old William Allyson, otherwise called ‘Willy’, a construction worker of Somerset Heights, Greenvale, Manchester, has been charged with two counts of house breaking and larceny following two incidents in his community.
The Mandeville police say on August 15 and August 26, Allyson forcefully entered the house of a neighbour and stole several items, including an assortment of engine oils, transmission oils, alcoholic beverages and a bottle of cologne.
The incidents were reported and an investigation was launched, which led to Allyson being arrested on Tuesday during a police operation.
He was subsequently charged on Friday following a question and answer session in the presence of a justice of the peace.
Allyson is set to appear before the Manchester Parish Court on September 4.
