Man tells Canadian fiancée ‘cops’ stole money she sent him

ACanadian national said she was left stunned when her Jamaican fiancé told her that he was robbed of $80,000 cash and his cellphone by men, dressed as cops, at his home in Exchange in St Ann, on Thursday morning.

Tammy Demic, 52, said the money was sent for him to be used as part of a business venture.

“They took every cent we own for no reason,” Demic said. “That’s all the money we had to our name. I took out a loan to send him that money to build us a little business so we could get ahead,” Demic told THE WEEKEND STAR.

Her fiancé, Kemar Hemans, 26, said that he was robbed in his yard, about 1 a.m., when he was approached by two armed men who wore what he described as police uniforms.

“Mi was just easying, deh deh just a whole a vibes and just eat some food and talk to mi woman and den me seh me a gah me bed. Here comes the police them with one bag a animosity.

He told THE WEEKEND STAR that cops at the Ocho Rios Police Station refused to take his statement when he attempted to file a report earlier Thursday. However, checks with the police indicated that Hemans filed a report subsequent to speaking with this newspaper. An investigation is being carried out.
