A St Elizabeth businessman has been charged after officers allegedly seized a cache of suspected stolen gambling machine parts during a search of his home on Friday.

Investigators say 50-year-old Rilock Ffrench, also a farmer, Seven Corner, Santa Cruz, has been charged with housebreaking and receiving stolen property.

The charges stem from a search carried out at his residence on Friday, during which police reportedly recovered six poker box circuit boards, one poker box bill acceptor, one black American roulette gaming machine with red stripes, and one touch screen poker box monitor.
