Two rifles and four magazines were seized by a joint police-military team during a targeted operation in Mount Salem, St James today (Thursday, April 4, 2024).
The St James Police, in collaboration with the Caribbean Search Centre and members of the Jamaica Defence Force, conducted a highly targeted operation on Katan Lane in the community. The operation, carried out between 12:30 PM and 2:40 PM, was part of our ongoing commitment to combat illegal firearms, ammunition, and to apprehend individuals wanted for various offenses.
The magazines recovered include three that are compatible with rifles and one designed for a pistol, further indicating the serious threat posed by these weapons. Its believed the seizure of the rifles and magazines will significantly disrupt the capabilities of active gangs in the community.
