The operation began after two gruesome murders were committed in the neighbouring community of Jones Town.

Jones Avenue the community where 66-year-old George Smart was thrown into a pit for dead some months ago and recently where 15-year-old Kevin Mckenzie was murdered when he went to throw out the garbage.

Deputy Superintendent of Police for North St. Catherine Division Linroy Edwards says among the persons of interest who were apphended is one of the polices most wanted. The man is wanted for several incidents of extortion, murder and shootings. The police say they are actively pursuing other persons of interest that are on their radar and will not stop these operations until the communities go back to being at peace.
