The Weekend Star has received unconfirmed reports that the police have seized a van that was given to two 'hustlers' for $200 by a coke addict in search of a fix.
Reports reaching THE WEEKEND STAR is that the incident happen on Monday when the man decided to do a transaction with his white Toyota RAV4 van.
Allegations are that the owner of the van went to a tyre shop in the Corporate Area to sell his four brand new tyres and to replace them with with four used ones. It is reported that he wanted money to buy cocaine.
Suspicious
According to a source that spoke to THE WEEKEND STAR last night, "Di man drive up and said come here dude, I want to sell these four tyres and get four used ones. But same time mi get suspicious because him seh dat him want about $35,000 for the four tyres."
The source further said that he became suspicious because; "Me did a wonder if a thief him thief di car and want to sell di tyres. But eventually mi find out seh he is a crack head because him ask we where him can get crack to buy."
THE WEEKEND STAR further understands that after the alleged addict found out where he could get the drug he then left with two men to an alleged coke base.
It is reported that after finding the coke base, the man exchanged his car keys for the money to buy cocaine. Interestingly, it is understood that the man slept at the coke base, while the two hustlers left with his vehicle for a joy ride.
The men later, however, reportedly got into difficulties with the vehicle after interfering with the vehicle's 'kill switch'.
The vehicle was abandoned in the Kingston 2 area. The police are said to have seized it.
However, several checks made by THE WEEKEND STAR last night to confirm the seizure of the vehicle with the Kingston Eastern police proved futile.
