Woman charged with theft of courthouse keys offered bail

The woman charged in relation to the disappearance of keys belonging to the St. Catherine Parish Court in September has been offered $120,000 bail.
 
Janet Fletcher, 33, was offered bail when she appeared in the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court on Thursday.
 
Ms Fletcher, who is charged with simple larceny, is to return to court on January 16, 2023.
 
A psychiatric evaluation report has revealed that she is unfit to plea.
 
Senior Parish Court Judge Lori-Anne Cole Montaque, prior to offering her bail, highlighted the support Ms Fletcher has been receiving from family members some of whom were in court.
 
The judge said it was not her desire to keep the accused in custody.
 
Allegations are that on September 13, Ms Fletcher visited the Spanish Town Police Station to make a report and while there, reportedly removed a bunch of keys belonging to the parish court.
 
The keys are held at the police station for safekeeping.
 
An intelligence-driven operation by the police led them to Ms Fletcher's home in St. Catherine.
 
The police reported that the keys were found at the premises.
 
She was taken into custody and later charged with simple larceny.
