OCHO RIOS, St. Ann:
AFTER SPENDING more than three weeks in jail, two security guards charged in connection with the multimillion-dollar robbery in Ocho Rios last month have been granted bail.
The guards were granted $1 million bail each, with conditions attached, when they appeared in the St. Ann's Bay Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.
They are 38-year-old Fray Calame of a Cedar Valley Road address in St. Andrew, and 43-year-old Gerald Latchman of Mansfield Heights, Ocho Rios. Both men are employed to Atlas Protection Ltd.
BIZARRE ROBBERY
The two have been charged with larceny and conspiracy to commit robbery, following the theft of a motor car with more than $6 million in Ocho Rios on August 9. The car was being used by the security guards to drop off cash at financial institutions in Ocho Rios, when at 9:20 a.m, the car was stolen while the guards had gone inside the RBTT bank.
In granting bail to the two guards, St. Ann Resident Magistrate Bertram Morrison ordered them both to surrender their travel documents and to report to the police three times weekly before 6 p.m.
Calame, who lives in Kingston, will report to the Matilda's Corner Police Station on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays; and Latchman will have to report to the Ocho Rios police on the same days.
They are to return to court on November 3.
