Theirs was a three-step plan, said Kirk St Clair White.
One – exploit a loophole in the banking system to get an ATM card; two – steal money from a fat bank account; and three, scare the account holder for a few months to give them time to invest the stolen money and then put it back.
“Step one and two were done,” White confessed to police after he was caught, “and we then sat at the gas station in Warrens to further discuss the scaring off of Miss [Hortense] Williams (and decided) this section will require the aid of a third person.”
These were the almost movie-script-like facts outlined by Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale when White reappeared in the No. 4 Supreme Court yesterday.
White, of Jackson Main Road, St Michael, had gone on trial in July this year for unlawfully and maliciously engaging in conduct, on August 24, 2011, which placed Bank of Nova Scotia account holder Hortense Williams in danger of death or serious bodily harm. (HLE)
