WESTMORELAND, Jamaica— The Negril Police say they have charged a man and woman following a series of operations in Red Ground, Negril on Tuesday, March 2, in which an illegal handgun and a quantity of ganja were seized.

 Thirty-eight-year-old Richard Mosely, otherwise called ‘Tu-Pac’ of Red Ground in Negril, Westmoreland has been charged for illegal possession of firearm and ammunition.

Meanwhile, 45-year-old Desrine Campbell, also of Negril, Westmoreland, has been charged for possession of ganja and dealing in ganja.

Reports from the Negril Police are that lawmen conducted an operation at a premises in the area about 3:00 pm. The police team reportedly saw a man acting in a manner that aroused their suspicion.
