The 14-year-old youth was remanded in custody to appear in Court on August 18 and the 15-year-old was remanded in custody until 22 August.

A/Commander Warren said the security put in place by the owner greatly assisted Police in this arrest.

“The help provided by the community cannot be underestimated.
