Three rifles, handgun seized in St James

ST JAMES, Jamaica – Three rifles, one handgun and an assortment of ammunition were seized by the St James police during a joint police/military operation in the parish on Thursday.

No one was arrested in relation to the seizure.

Acting Commanding Officer for St James, Superintendent of Police (SP) Eron Samuels stated that this initiative is geared towards finding wanted persons.

“We were targeting one of our wanted persons and today we were able to disarm his gang of four weapons,” said SP Samuels.

He reassured the residents that the police will continue to disarm gunmen and gangs to keep their communities safe.

“Our main intention is to have the residents of Montego Bay, St James feel safe; to let them know that the police are working to ensure that we protect them so that they can enjoy going about their lives without having to worry about these criminals,” SP Samuels added.

The police are encouraging individuals to share information about guns, gangs and wanted men by calling their local police or Crime Stop at 311.
