A shop owner's night of rest turned into a costly nightmare after a 14-year-old boy allegedly slipped through a window under the cover of darkness and made off with more than $219,000 in cash, a cellphone and groceries in a brazen Trelawny break-in.

The teenager, of Duncansville District, has since been charged with housebreaking and larceny in connection with the alleged burglary, which occurred in December 2025.

According to the Falmouth Police, the woman securely locked her shop before retiring to bed.
