Three charged in B.T.L. theft

Three friends of former B.T.L. cashier Harrison Collins appeared in Magistrate’s Court today. They were charged in connection with the theft of over sixty-two thousand dollars in cash, checks and tele-cards from the B.T.L. Church Street office earlier this month. The trio, security guard Keith Welch, his common-law wife Jacqueline Gentle, and friend Anthony O’Brien, was charged with conspiracy to commit theft and handling stolen goods. Police allege the three helped to hide the money and tele-cards for Collins. It is believed that Harrison Collins is hiding somewhere in Mexico. The case has been adjourned until February twelve.
