Cops obtain more documents on Jones state assets probe

As the probe into the alleged larceny of state assets by former Director of Sports Christopher continues, investigators yesterday obtained additional documents pertaining to the investigation, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed.

Jones was arrested in the wee hours of August 21st after the police carried out a search at his home and seized over $4M of barbershop equipment deemed to be state assets. The items which were seized were purchased as part of a $4 million government-funded project under the Sustainable Livelihoods and Entrepreneurial Development (SLED) programme.

Jones was arrested hours after his lawyer secured an order barring the law enforcers from entering his Georgetown home without a warrant.
