The Hunts Bay Police in St Andrew have listed a man as wanted based on a finger left behind at the scene of a robbery.
He is Herbert Wallace, otherwise called 'Rickie', of a Riverton City address, in Kingston 11.
The police allege that he robbed a business establishment on Colleyville Avenue, in Kingston 20 on November 28, 2022.
