September 18, 2026

Investigators from the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID) have formally charged a district constable with simple larceny and possession of criminal property.

This follows the alleged theft of over 400,000 dollars at the FNID facility on Monday, September 14.

The accused has been identified as 31-year-old Shaneek Plummer of Innswood Village, St. Catherine, who was assigned to the division at the time.

Reports are that between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. on Monday, a constable stationed at the FNID temporarily left a bag containing over 650 thousand dollars in cash in his office to use the restroom.

When he returned, he discovered that a portion of the cash was missing.

Supervisors were notified and an internal investigation was launched.

Plummer was arrested on the compound after it was alleged that she was caught attempting to conceal the cash.

The funds were fully recovered and verified as the exact amount reported missing.

A file was prepared and submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, which advised laying criminal charges against her.

Addressing the breach of trust, the Director of FNID, Superintendent Patrae Rowe, reaffirmed that the division holds its personnel to the highest operational and ethical standards.

He stated that FNID handles some of the most sensitive investigations in Jamaica and that demands absolute and unshakable integrity from every member.

Plummer was scheduled to appear before the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court yesterday to answer the charges.
