Five rifles were among 59 firearms seized at Freeport in Montego Bay, St James on Friday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Fitz Bailey said an intelligence-driven operation involving the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), Jamaica Customs and international partners led to the massive gun haul.
It was the second major gun bust in Montego Bay in a week, following the seizure of a shipment of 22 firearms at the Seaboard Warehouse in the city last Friday.
