Kingston taxi operator charged in connection with alleged knifepoint robberies

A 27-year-old taxi operator is facing charges in connection with two knifepoint robberies that occurred in Kingston, Jamaica, on July 8. Dennis Miller, also known as “Brown Man,” has been charged with two counts of robbery with aggravation and receiving stolen property.

According to reports from the Elletson Road Police, Miller, armed with a knife, allegedly approached and robbed two women in separate incidents on Windy Way and Cove Avenue in Harbour View, Kingston 17. The robberies took place between 1:30 pm and 2:20 pm.

During the robberies, Miller made off with two handbags containing mobile phones, cash totaling $33,150, and other personal items. Following the second incident, witnesses observed Miller entering a grey Daihatsu Mira ES motor car as he fled the scene.

An operation was launched to locate the suspect. Law enforcement officers intercepted a vehicle matching the description of the one used in the escape. Miller was found to be driving the vehicle, and a search revealed the stolen items belonging to the women. He was arrested and subsequently charged on July 10, following a question-and-answer session in the presence of his attorney. His court date is currently being finalized.
