There has been a decline in praedial larceny in South Trelawny, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Orville Bushay, who heads the Praedial Larceny Unit for Area One, which comprises Trelawny, St James, Hanover and Westmoreland.

Bushay attributed the reduction to the arrest of 37-year-old Calvin Warren of Stettin, whom police identified as the area's main praedial larceny suspect.

"Ever since we arrested the main thief, 37-year-old Calvin Warren of Stettin, there has been a decline in reports of stolen yams and yam heads," Bushay said.
