The police theorise that the robbers, who travelled in a vehicle with flashing blue lights, trailed the businessman from the bordering parish of St James and held him up as he was about to enter his home in a Trelawny community.

“He is also reporting that the men posed as police officers [and] had one of those magnetic blue lights,” head of the Trelawny Police Divison Superintendent Kirk Ricketts told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.

“The investigation is in its early stage, but this is something that we are collaborating with our sister division and with the area crime officer,” Ricketts said yesterday.

According to a police source, the businessman also reported that the robbers stole his licensed Heckler & Kotch pistol, two magazines with 60 rounds of 9mm cartridges.

Nothing is sacred an H&K......

2x 30 round mags?? Was this guy was carrying an mp5k?

IIRC Jamaica has/ had UK type gun control. It must be nice to be an "important" person.

$14m in cash takes up a lot of space, even it was all in $100 notes, that's still way more than a few duffle bags full.
The article said there were checks too, but realistically, what can the criminals do with the checks ???
I imagine once reported stolen, the checks would be cancelled by the banks.

I saw that episode. I was thinking that Saul Goodman would have a hard time rucking all that weight out of the area.

That is a lot even for a conditioned soldier.

Jamaican Gun Laws are way better than the UK. It's the ammo they monitor and restrict.
My wife was in the middle of getting her JA Gun License, and I was toying with the idea of getting dual citizenship so I could get mine too.
My Mother-In-Law died last year, so I don't need to get it now.

My Mother-In-Laws house has sold for $6,750,000.00

Too bad he didn’t have something like an H&K pistol to protect himself.
