A car belonging to deejay and selector Charly Blacks was reportedly stolen early yesterday morning in St Mary.

The entertainer, who made his breakthrough in the dancehall scene with Buddy Buddy, told THE STAR that he learnt his 1999 Toyota Corolla motorcar was missing close to 5 a.m. after he asked a friend to check on it for him.

Charly Blacks said he had gone to an annual Mother's Day dance in Oracabessa in the parish where he was billed to work as a selector for the Bass Odyssey sound system.

"Mi check pon di vehicle after two (after 2 a.m.) eno and minutes to five, mi send di same person fi check again and him come back and seh him nuh know how fi tell mi. Him hold down him head fi 'bout five seconds and nuh seh nutten and when mi ask him if di car missing him seh yes," Charly Blacks said before adding that a formal report was made to the Oracabessa police.

When THE STAR checked with the Oracabessa police last evening, it was confirmed that a report was submitted. The police also said investigations are ongoing but are yet to pick up any leads.
