The Police say a well-known political activist could be behind a highly organised group of persons who organised last week's multi-million dollar robbery at the Swiss Stores – a jewelry store in the downtown Kingston.
During last week’s robbery, a gunman went to the store and stole 16 Rolex watches. At a press conference on Wednesday, Senior Superintendent Cornwall "Bigga" Ford, revealed that the Flying Squad Unit had recovered 13 watches.
Investigations also led to several other items, including US$150,000 and over J$500,000 .
“We have also found some Movado wrist watches, one illegal gun, two legal guns over 500 rounds of assorted ammunition and cash" Ford disclosed. He said the five suspects in custody will be charged after they are questioned in the presence of their attorneys.
“When charges are preferred and t he names of the suspects released – I think some people will be shocked,” he said.
The Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Task Force will be pursuing the seizure of the assets.
