WESTMORELAND, Jamaica — The police are reporting that an AK47 rifle with a magazine containing seven 7.62 mm rounds and two Molotov cocktails were seized during a joint police/military operation in Savanna-La-Mar, Westmoreland yesterday.

Reports are that between the hours of 12:30 pm and 4:30 pm, the team conducted cordon and search operations when the firearm was seen in a vegetated area.
