Over US$60,000 cash found during police search
The country is in an economic recession but there is money on the streets or at least plenty cash inside some vehicles on the street. During a routine vehicle checkpoint at the junction of Sandhill Village and Maskall Road police checked a Ford Expedition and found sixty thousand two hundred and forty dollars in U.S. currency. In addition to the large sum of money, the officers found passports belonging to the occupants of the vehicle, thirty seven year old Sidney Ellis, thirty year old Scott Douglas Stringer, and twenty three year old Julia Laura McCord. They were all charged with money laundering and failure to declare the cash. The cash was hidden in containers, according to Press Officer Fitzroy Yearwood.

“On the second of April 2010 at about two thirty p.m. police personnel conducted a search at the junction of Sandhill and Maskall Road on a grey Ford Expedition. The occupants of the vehicle at the time were thirty-seven year old Sidney Ellis, thirty-one year old Scott Stringer and twenty-three year old Julia McCord. The search revealed, the search led to the discovery of two aluminum containers that were covered with rubber containing a total of sixty thousand eight hundred and fifteen U.S. dollars and these persons have since been charged for money laundering and failure to declare funds. These persons have since been arraigned in the magistrate’s court.”
I think from what we have all witnessed in recent months, if the police tell you there was $60,000 then you know well and good it is after they have taken anywhere from 50% to 75% for themselves and their team. I would stake my families life on that one. These are the crookedest dirtiest bstrds in any country world wide.
But hey thats just my opinion
DAt da mussi the money di police tief from the Czech person……
That was just a distraction from the millions that mussi pass in official govt vehicle after that!
In every other country where money is confiscated they use it to better the department…. Stella Marris School looks better than our Police Department Headquaters.
