Two former employees of the Rural Agricultural Development Agency (RADA) will return to the Linstead Resident Magistrate's Court on April 7 to answer to larceny charges involving close to 100 bags of fertiliser.

They are Lemar Dwyer and Anthony Johnson, both from Linstead, St Catherine.

When the accused appeared in court on Monday, they were warned that it was a serious offence for which they had been charged and that they should make arrangement to pay back the money or face the full force of the law.

Johnson and Dwyer are before the court for the theft of fertiliser valued at $380,000. The fertiliser was stolen from a storage facility at the Linstead RADA office.
