Cops seize more than $5m cash during anti-narcotics raid in St. Mary

 

The Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID) of the Jamaica Constabulary Force says it seized more than $5 million in cash during an anti-narcotics operation in St. Mary.

 

Superintendent Sam Blake, who heads the division, said the cash was seized following an intensive investigation into illicit activities in an area of St. Mary last month.

 

He said the JCF has intensified its crackdown on drug trafficking and related crimes across the island.

 

"As the leadership of the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division continues to build the capacity of the division to effectively deliver on its mission, we will continue to collaborate with our local, regional and international partners to ensure optimum impact on those groups and individuals seeking to profit from the narcotics and firearms trade," Superintendent Blake pledged.
