Restrictions at Up Park Camp as two firearms go missing
KINGSTON, Jamaica— Access and exit at the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) Up Park Camp base has been restricted.
The restrictions were put in place after a systems check on the weapons inventory revealed that two M-16 rifles were missing.
Subsequently, movement in and out of Camp has been confined as checks are completed to determine circumstances surrounding the missing weapons. There is also a physical search underway at the base.
“We are currently doing our investigations and will provide an update soon,” Major Basil Jarrett, civil military cooperation officer at JDF, told OBSERVER ONLINE.
