TWO more members of the notorious Klansman gang have been held in the United States, the police confirmed yesterday.

Their capture was the result of cooperation between local cops and their counterparts in the US.

One of the men has been identified as Renard Harrison, also called 'Radcliffe', while the other man has only been identified by his alias, 'Mikey Fyffe'.

According to head of Operation Kingfish, Assistant Commissioner Glenmore Hinds, Harrison was held in Florida and is scheduled to be deported back to the island soon.
"He was wanted for a number of crimes including murder, shootings and absconding bail," Hinds told the Observer yesterday.

Harrison was before the courts on one of those charges when he fled the island last year.

'Mikey Fyffe', in the meanwhile, was held by federal agents as he attempted to board a domestic flight at an airport in Virginia late last month after airport authorities became suspicious of his demeanor.

The arrests come on the heels of the conviction of the reputed gang leader, Tesha Miller, who was sent to prison for nine months after pleading guilty to a charge of absconding bail. Miller was held by cops in an apartment in Tampa, Florida where a .45 pistol, a SKS assault rifle and one pound of marijuana were found. He was sentenced on gun-related charges and re-entering the United States illegally before being sent back to Jamaica.

Miller took over the reins of the feared gang after its leader, Donovan 'Bulbie' Bennett, was shot and killed by police at a house he owned in the rustic district of Tanarky in Clarendon in 2005.

Police say the Klansman gang runs an extensive extortion racket in Spanish Town and has been responsible for a number of murders and other serious crimes in the old capital and other parts of St Catherine.

The gang became fragmented after Bennett was killed.
