KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Crown witness this morning testified that a police officer had showed up in St Mary to collect guns from a member of the Uchence Wilson gang after they had allegedly robbed a fruits vendor.

According to the ex-member of the gang, who has been giving evidence in the Home Circuit Court via video link from a remote location, the gang had used about five firearms in that robbery, four Glock pistols and one Beretta.

The witness said he along with Wilson, Fitzroy Scott, Michael Lamont and three other members whom he identified as B13, Jason and Juice went to rob the man days after they had tried but failed because the man did not go home while they waited hours for him in bushes at his home.

However, the witness said he and Devin Taylor waited while the other gained entrance to the man’s home via the basement and stole “a big bag of cash”.

After the robbery, he said he saw the defendant, Corporal Lloyd Knight, collecting the guns from Taylor.

He also told the court that it was not the first time he was seeing Knight.

“I went to drop off money that day, I saw him in Three Miles, me and Terrence (Wilson) went to give him money and some phone cards,” he said.

The witness said the phone cards and money were stolen from a woman’s house that they robbed the night before.
