No guns, other contraband allowed at Gibson McCook Relays – police

KINGSTON, Jamaica- Police are advising patrons who will be attending the Gibson McCook Relays at the National Stadium on Saturday of a number of items that will not be allowed inside the venue.

Firearms, knives, ice picks, machetes, firecrackers, aerosol sprays, large igloos, glass bottles, lighters, frozen water or drinks, drugs, alcohol, and umbrellas with pointed tips are among the prohibited items.

Additionally, cops say walkways should be kept clear at all times in cases of emergency, and there will be a no-re-entry policy.

Licensed firearm holders are advised to make alternative arrangements for the safekeeping of their guns, as no provisions will be made at the venue or the Stadium Police Station.

Patrons are also reminded that all persons entering the stadium will be subject to search.

Meanwhile, vendors are warned that vending will not be tolerated outside the designated areas.
