(Jamaica Gleaner) – THE public is being warned to be on the lookout for robbers who are targeting persons conducting large cash transactions at commercial banks in town centres.
The police say investigators have so far picked up on incidents in Portmore, St Catherine, Half-Way Tree and Liguanea in St Andrew, May Pen, Clarendon and on Duke Street in downtown Kingston.

Information gathered suggests that the robbers work in groups, employing at least two individuals – one as a spotter to identify potential victims and another who commits the actual act of robbery, the police explained.
The motorcycle is the preferred mode of transport, though there have been incidents where motor cars were used and reports of perpetrators fleeing the scene on foot, they noted.
The police say while arrests have been made, investigators believe the syndicate continues to operate and are warning persons to be extremely vigilant.
