KINGSTON, Jamaica – Commissioner of Police Major General Antony Anderson says a number of overseas players continue to drive crime in Jamaica, including the recent flare-up of violence in west Kingston.

“We already had given some of those names to our (overseas) partners, and we will be giving additional names to them, and we will be pursuing them here and there,” Anderson said at a media briefing on Tuesday.

Anderson said the persons of interests overseas are among a number of violence producers being targeted by law enforcement officials to address the crime wave in that section of the capital.

“We are going to get those persons who believe they are going to disrupt normal lives in communities and cause violence to go up in Kingston, we are not having that,” Anderson said.

“There are specific people who coming out of this briefing we will name as persons who we want and will continue to put out a list of persons who may assist us with our investigations and these are the persons of interest,” said Anderson.

In an effort to quell future ‘flare up’ Anderson said the police will continue to partner with the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) and embark on deliberate searches where they believe guns are ‘secreted’.
