MANCHESTER, Jamaica — Police are reporting that a curfew will be imposed in the troubled community of Greenvale in Manchester starting today.
A police source told OBSERVER ONLINE that the curfew will start at 6:00 pm on Monday and will end 6:00 pm on Wednesday.
“Based on the recent spate of violent crimes in the Greenvale community and its environs, the Division’s Intelligence / Investigative arms have conducted inquiries, investigation, and surveillance exercises. Information so far revealed that the recent spate of violent crimes in the community is because of interpersonal disputes between rival gangsters,” the source said.
The boundaries are as follows
Northern Boundary – From a Section of Gabby Street at northern, 1182 meters along Gabby Street road to a section of roadway at the Winston Jones Highway vicinity of Mike Town bus stop.
Eastern Boundary – From a section of roadway at the Winston Jones Highway vicinity of Mike Town bus stop at the eastern boundary, 1867 meters along the Winston Jones Highway to the entrance of Tropics View Hotel at the southern boundary.

The curfew follows Sunday morning’s deadly gun attack in Top Greenvale that left one man dead and three other people injured.
