Usain Bolt’s father robbed

TRELAWNY, Jamaica, CMC- Wellesly Bolt, the father of sprint legend Usain Bolt was robbed of cash amounting to a little less than half a million Jamaican dollars, Jamaica’s media reported yesterday.

The money was stolen from his Toyota pick-up truck parked in the vicinity of the Falmouth Municipal Market in North West Jamaica around 10:00am, the media quoted Bolt’s father as saying.

He told the Jamaica Observer that the money was stolen minutes after he left a commercial bank.
