Teen among three arrested in police operation in St Catherine North
ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — A teenager was among three persons arrested in connection with the seizure of a 9mm pistol containing seven live rounds during an operation in the St Catherine North police division on Sunday.
According to Superintendent (SP) Hopeton Nicholson, the discovery was made after a vehicle in which the three men were travelling was intercepted and searched.
The three men are said to be linked to several criminal activities across multiple parishes including St Catherine, St Mary, St Ann and Kingston.
SP Nicholson, in lauding the work of the police, said Sunday’s arrest was a result of intensified operational activities within the division. He said the operations are aimed at “denying criminals the opportunities to commit crimes.”
The arrested men, including the teen, remain in police custody as the St Catherine North CIB continues investigations.
