Investigators from the Linstead Police Station, St Catherine, were kept busy yesterday after criminals made off with more than $1 million.

Police reports are that a bearer employed to a funeral home was on his way to lodge the money on behalf of the company.

When the bearer reached a section of East Avenue, he was held up and robbed by gunmen.

The robbers then escaped in the area.

A report was made to the Linstead police and a probe is under way.

The Star was informed that the investigation is at an advanced stage.
