Trio Charged in Fraudulent Electronic Funds Transfer Case

Published
Three Men Appear In Court For Electronic Fraud, Two Granted Bail

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.
