The police say that they now have a suspect in custody and they have recovered a portion of the money that was stolen in a brazen daylight robbery that left three persons dead along the busy Manchester Avenue in May Pen, Clarendon.

The three persons killed, including two security guards, are Lenford Levy, 41, of Hayes district, Carl Goodwin, 37, of May Pen and 30-year-old Albert Swinton of Simon district also in May Pen. A fourth person who was also shot and injured remains in critical condition in hospital.

It is reported that at about 9 a.m. security officers were making a cash delivery to a nearby cambio when their Toyota Rav4 vehicle was intercepted by a Toyota Corolla motor car. Occupants of the car alighted, brandished guns and fired shots on the occupants of the Rav4, killing the two guards and one of two bystanders.

They then made off with an undetermined sum of cash. The police who were quick on their trail, located the Corolla along a road near Curato Hill, about three miles from the scene.

The car had pieces of board and other items inside that indicated that they were trying to burn the vehicle.
