SECURITY OFFICER FACING VEHICULAR THEFT CHARGES
Detectives assigned to the St. Catherine South Policing Division charged 31-year-old Tashaun Farquharson, a security officer of Sheffield Road, Kingston 2, St. Andrew with Larceny of a Motor Vehicle, Malicious destruction of Property, Uttering Forged Documents following an incident on Hatfield Road, Waterford, St. Catherine between Friday, January 18, and Monday, January 21, 2024.
Reports from the Portmore Police are that between the aforementioned dates, Farquharson rented a 2016 Toyota Corolla motor car for three days. The vehicle was not returned on the agreed return date, causing the complainant to track the vehicle, which led her to Patrick City in Kingston, but only the tracker was found on arrival. The complainant made a report to the police.
The accused made an attempt to rent a second vehicle from the complainant and produced a driver’s license with the same picture but a different name from the first occasion. During the attempt, the police were contacted, and Farquharson was subsequently arrested and taken into custody. He was formerly charged at the end of a question-and-answer session in the presence of his attorney.
His court date is being finalised.
