The final count for weapons discovered in five barrels at a wharf in Kingston last week has revealed that 52 guns were hidden in the shipment from the United States, labelled groceries and clothing.
The Jamaica Customs Agency has revealed that there were 50 assorted pistols in the shipment, two rifles, 2,992 assorted rounds of ammunition and 61 assorted magazines.
Other illegal items in the shipment were one rifle barrel, two rifle buttstock, one rifle grip, a rifle iron front sight post, 12 rifle accessories, four pistol slides and three pistol lower receivers.
Jamaica Customs says during routine operations last Wednesday, its officers detected anomalies in shipments being imported from the United States.
The weapons find is being investigated by the Firearm Narcotics Investigations Division of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
