ST JAMES, Jamaica – The St James police have listed the five most wanted men in the parish.

Those wanted by the police are: Edward Thomas, also known as ‘Radigon’ of Granville;  Anward Anthony Hinds otherwise called ‘Kirkie’ of Tate Street, Montego Bay; Marshell Dillion , otherwise called ‘Rasta’ of a Norwood, Montego Bay address; Devon Reid of Cassava Walk, Albion; and Deandre Devonte Ackeem Harris also known as ‘Slick’ of a Clarke Street, Mount Salem address.

Commanding Officer for St James Senior Superintendent Steve McGregor, who was speaking at a press conference at the Freeport Police Station yesterday, said the police have sufficient information on files to place them before a court of law.

He warned of consequences if the men do not turn themselves in to the police.

“So, you can come in to us. But, if you do not come in, for certain, we will be coming at you. And, we will be coming at you with all the zeal and zest that we have, and if you know the leader that is speaking to you (SSP McGregor), you know that we are going to turn all stones to find you. So, it is best for you to come in to us,” warned McGregor.

According to the police, since the start of the year, 19 wanted men were taken into custody, of which 12 were for murders committed in St James, two for crimes committed outside of the parish, while the others were for “serious incident of shooting”.

Since the beginning of the year, some 61 murders have been committed in the parish.

Last year, the parish recorded 159 homicides.
