MANCHESTER, Jamaica — Police are reporting that four men were arrested in separate incidents in Heartease and Coley Mountain, Manchester on Sunday.

Head of the Manchester police Superintendent Odean Dennis said in the first incident, about 3:30 am, two men were taken into custody in relation the seizure of a firearm and ammunition at a house in Heartease district.

“One of the persons arrested was found to have been connected to [an individual] that was involved in a multiple murder committed in July of this year,” he said.

In the second incident police arrested two men — a party promoter and a sound system operator — in Coley Mountain near Mile Gully at a party held without a permit.

“I would advise citizens that they are to refrain from hosting these parties and they are also to refrain from attending them, because these events will not be properly policed and therefore they represent areas where other crimes for example shootings and murders could occur,” said Dennis.
