Police High Command issues warning following attack on Spanish Town station

The Police High Command has reacted to Thursday night's attacks on personnel at the Spanish Town Police Station in St. Catherine and those on mobile patrols in the area.

Gunmen reportedly used a 45 minute power outage as a cover to launch an attack on the station.

However, no police personnel was injured.

In a statement, the Police high Command said the incidents are a clear indication of the viciousness and extraordinary lengths to which members of the Klansman gang will go, in order to perpetuate their criminal way of life.

It added that the assault indicates the weapons that these criminals have at their disposal and their willingness to use them against the security forces.

The High Command said despite these unwarranted attacks, the resolve of the police remains strong.

The statement added that the police will not cower in the face of these attacks and will respond appropriately and professionally.

It again reminded police personnel, especially those living and working in the St. Catherine North, St. Catherine South and Clarendon Divisions that the threat level remains at extreme.

This means attacks are imminent and extra precaution should be taken to protect themselves, their colleagues and assets.
