The St Elizabeth police say they are probing the possibility that a teacher from the parish could be linked to a car-stealing ring following her recent arrest.

The woman was charged after the police claimed that she failed to produce documents for a car which has allegedly been in her possession since 2007.

Investigators say Yulanda White, 37, was slapped with charges of larceny of a motor car as well as receiving stolen property after being questioned on Sunday.

She was picked up last Thursday after being found in possession of a Toyota Caldina for which she is alleged to have been unable to provide the documents.

She appeared in the Santa Cruz Resident Magistrate's Court on Monday and was released on a $200,000 bond after pleading not guilty.

The court was told that White has been in possession of the car for approximately three years now but is unable able to tell detectives how she acquired the car.

"There is a car-stealing ring being operated in sections of western Jamaica and we are investigating ... This car may just well be linked to that ring," one investigator told THE STAR.
