ST ANDREW, Jamaica — A firearm was Monday night seized by an off-duty police officer on Old Hope Road in St Andrew after he was pounced upon and held at gunpoint by a group of armed men.
The Papine police say that about 10:45 pm the policeman was walking along Old Hope Road when armed men attacked him. According to the police, the lawman repelled his attackers, disarming one of them in the process. A 9mm Combat Commander Colt pistol was allegedly taken from the crooks during the incident.
The hoodlums then made their escape in the area.
