The police have charged two teen boys over the theft of cash from a house in Temple Hall, St Andrew, between August 18 and 20.

The two, who are both 15, will not be named as they are children.

According to a police statement issued on Saturday, the boys are accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars that had been stored under a mattress.

Investigators say the money was being kept by a “banker” for a community partner plan.

The statement did not include the specific sum allegedly stolen.

Following investigations, the teenagers were taken into custody and later charged with larceny from the dwelling after a question-and-answer session.
