Charged with burglary is Patrice Monzac of Shaw’s Road, New Castle in Nevis while his alleged accomplice, Tayan ‘Macabee’ Wilkin of Cotton Ground and New Castle, Nevis was charged with burglary and receiving.
According to Police PRO Sergeant Stephen Hector, the two men were arrested on suspicion of burglary on February 23, 2012 and later charged for the respective offences.
Hector said that the burglary offence was committed between 11:30 p.m. on Thursday (Feb. 16) and 7:00 a.m. on Friday (Feb. 17).
He did not state where the offence was committed and against whom. However, this publication learned that the alleged crime took place at a villa in Nisbet Plantation on Nevis.
The PRO stated that the burglary involved the stealing of Scottish currency (pounds) and some of the money was recovered following an intensive investigation which involved a third party.
