20 held in Norwood raid
MONTEGO BAY, St James – The police yesterday arrested 20 people, less than 24 hours after commencing a curfew in the violence-torn Glendevon/Norwood area.
The operation comes days after the brutal slayings of 56-year-old shopkeeper Joyce Blake and Towana Campbell, 22, both of Hendon, Glendevon, who were shot dead by gunmen at Blake’s shop on Monday night.
The community has been overtaken by gang-related gun violence since last year, which has already claimed more than ten lives since the start of the year – just 19 days old.
