$1.4 Million Armored Car Robbery Case Adjourned To 2025

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A magistrate on Friday adjourned the $1.475 million theft trial of a former armored car company employee until February.

Akeil Holmes was working at ICS Security on November 2, 2023 when prosecutors allege that he and Oral Roberts took a bag containing $1,475,000, the property of the Bank of the Bahamas, from a car that had been left unattended by a coworker.

Holmes is charged with stealing, conspiracy to commit stealing and receiving $45,000 of the stolen money.

He was not present when the matter was called. The matter was adjourned as Holmes’ lawyer requested the evidence that the prosecution intended to rely on at trial.

Holmes’s co-accused Oral Roberts was murdered in Fox Hill on July 31.

Two other men, Michael Fox Jr and Dino Smith, were quizzed by police over the theft were murdered in separate incidents earlier this year.

Since then, recordings of Fox allegedly speaking to a senior police officer about the investigation, have gone viral on social media.

An internal investigation is underway.
