A man who has been on the US state of Pennsylvania’s top 10 most wanted list has been found and captured in SVG.
Kern Z Mayers, a Vincentian national, was taken into custody last Thursday by local police, after law enforcement in the US alerted Vincentian authorities that Mayers was hiding in SVG. Extradition proceedings will be held, according to the Commissioner of Police Mr. Colin John.
Mayers, a resident of Campden Park, was employed at an automotive parts store in Kingstown and has apparently been hiding away in SVG for 14 years.
He is charged with fugitive aggravated assault, institutional vandalism, recklessly endangering another person, fleeing or attempting to elude police officers and accidents involving damage to an attended vehicle.
Police apprehended Mayers on the same day that they captured two men, Veron Primus and Ulrick “Chucky” Hanson, who had escaped Her Majesty’s Prison.
