OPERATION Kingfish yesterday said it seized 10 illegal firearms and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition during a joint operation at sea with Cuban authorities over the weekend.

Seven men suspected to be involved in the guns-for-drugs trade between Jamaica and Haiti were also arrested by the cops.

According to the task force, the illegal weapons haul included five 9mm semi-automatic pistols, two .380 semi-automatic pistols, two .38 revolvers and a .357 magnum revolver.

They men in custody, the task force said, "are suspected to be major players in a syndicate operating out of St Elizabeth".

"[They] are being quizzed by detectives assigned to the elite task force [and] are expected to be charged as soon as the interrogation is over," Kingfish said in a release.
