A man who was wanted by the St. James police for murder, shooting with intent and illegal possession of a firearm has been taken into custody.
He was arrested during an operation on Bottom Road in St. James on Wednesday morning.
The police say an apartment occupied by the man was searched.
Twenty-six lead sheets, a composite notebook and seven cellular phones with names, addresses, telephone numbers and credit card information were reportedly found.
