Trio Charged in Fraudulent Electronic Funds Transfer Case
Three individuals have been formally arrested and charged for fraud-related offenses involving the unauthorized electronic transfer of funds.
The accused include:
-
Jahari Adams, 28, of Golden Grove Extension
-
Judeah Francis, 25, of Golden Grove
-
Kareem Davis, 19, of Cooks Extension
They face joint charges of Electronic Transfer of Funds concerning the illegal transfer of $10,600.00 from a savings account at a local bank on December 13, 2025.
These charges arise from an investigation that commenced on Friday, January 2, 2026, when police officers intercepted a white Toyota Ractis vehicle along Friendly Alley. The car was driven by Francis and had Adams and Davis as passengers.
During the arrest, police confiscated several items, including:
- One silver HP laptop
- A Digicel cellular phone
- A storage vault
These items are believed to be pertinent to the investigation.
The accused are scheduled to appear before the court to respond to the charges.
