Quick action by police leads to firearm seizure, stolen vehicle recovery
ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — Quick action by the St Catherine North Operational Support Team (OST) and Quick Response (QR) team, coupled with the vigilance of Jamaica Eye, led to great success on Monday.
Reports are that about 6:00 pm, the Jamaica Eye team made contact with the St Catherine North Patrol, giving information on a suspected vehicle. The vehicle – a Toyota Axio motor car – was then intercepted along St Johns Road in the parish with two men and a teenage girl aboard.
The occupants and vehicle were searched; one Glock 9mm pistol with two magazines and nineteen 9mm cartridges were found inside the vehicle.
The three were subsequently arrested.
Their identities are being withheld pending further investigations.
The increased vigilance of the patrols also led to the recovery of a Nissan AD Wagon in Angels, Spanish Town. The vehicle was reportedly stolen from the Portmore area in the parish.
The police are imploring citizens to continue to support them as they remain committed in their efforts to rid the nation’s streets of guns, gangs and gunmen.
