FLYING Squad detectives in a joint operation with the Passport Immigration and Citizenship Agency, this morning raided a business place in downtown Kingston, seizing several illegal passports, visas and justice of the peace stamps.

The police said they swooped down on premises at 64 Johns Lane and held two men in connection with the find.

“Dozens of illegal passports, both local and international, were seized during the intelligence-led operation,” head of the Flying Squad Cornwall 'Bigga’ Ford said.

The seizure was the latest in a string of successful operations carried out by the squad in the Corporate Area since Friday.

On Monday, the squad — with the assistance of the Caribbean Search Centre — seized one handgun, eight magazines, two magazine pouches, two gun holsters, a ballistic vest, and more than 50 rounds of assorted ammunition, which were hidden in an abandoned building on Chestnut Lane, also in Kingston.

No one was arrested in that operation.

The police also nabbed an employee of a telecommunications company, who was found with two pistols, and more than two dozen rounds of ammunition on Friday.

The weapons were found hidden in the man’s motorcar, from which the police said they also confiscated US$647, J$118,000 and an amount of Japanese currency.
