Investigators assigned to the Black River Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB) have arrested and charged two farmers who allegedly used fake lottery tickets to fleece hundreds of thousands of dollars from an establishment in Santa Cruz, St. Elizabeth last month.
Charged are 37-year-old Zanu Williams and 26-year-old Jahvin Borda, both farmers of Burnt Savannah District, St Elizabeth.
Reports from the Black River Police are that between November 5 and November 9, 20224, both men attended a night club and encashed several lottery tickets amounting to JM $486,400.00. These tickets were later checked and were determined to be forged. A report was made to the police and Williams and Borda were arrested and later charged.
Their court date is being finalized.
