Turf war fueling exodus of Gravel Heights residents

Sections of the Gravel Heights community in St. Catherine resemble a ghost town after most of the residents fled the area over the past 24 hours.

Scores of residents began to flee the volatile community since Sunday morning after men reportedly aligned to the Klansman Gang descended on the community and ordered residents to leave.

The police who are maintaining a strong presence in the community were forced to retrieve several pieces of furniture from a house taken over by gunmen.

Klansman allegedly behind turf war eluding capture

Meanwhile, James Hinds who is the alleged mastermind behind the ongoing feud in the Gravel Heights and Tredegar Park areas in St. Catherine is still eluding police dragnets.

RJR News understands that Mr. Hinds, who is said to be a ranking member of the Klansman Gang, is wanted for several murders committed in the parish.

The police report that he has engaged them in several shoot outs but has eluded them in an area reportedly controlled by the gang.

Hinds is said to frequent the communities of Waterloo, Gravel Heights and Lauriston in St. Catherine.
