The former Beryllium security guard who took off with one of the company's money courier vehicles containing approximately $15 million in cash will learn his fate next month after admitting to the crime.
The cash has not been recovered, law enforcement sources have disclosed.
The former guard, Eugeene Greene, pleaded guilty to the offences of simple larceny and larceny as a servant in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on September 23.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on December 15.
Greene was part of a three-man team that went to collect cash from the MegaMart wholesale store in St Andrew on October 11 last year.
It is reported that he remained behind while his colleagues went inside.
When they returned, Greene and the cash were missing.
He left behind his uniform and the firearm issued to him by the company.
The St Andrew Central Police, who led the investigation, arrested Greene at premises in the Corporate Area seven days after the heist.
