A man who was on the St. Ann police's wanted list for possession of prohibited weapons and ammunition, and said to be linked to a prominent dancehall artiste, has been captured.
He was held Friday morning along with two other men during a major operation in Mammee Bay, carried out by the St. Ann Specialised Operations team and the Divisional Intelligence Unit.
Police around 11:30 a.m., they entered a house at Greenwich Acres armed with a warrant, but nothing illegal was found inside.
However, the search extended to the rear of an adjoining premises where officers reportedly found a brown shopping bag inside a kennel.
The bag contained a submachine gun with its serial number obscured, an extended magazine with sixteen 9mm rounds, more than 20 additional rounds, an empty-glock magazine and firearm-cleaning agents.
Three men, including the wanted man, was taken into custody.
Further checks revealed that one of them is also wanted by the Area 1 Major Investigations Division in relation to a quadruple murder in Clark's Town, Trelawny in 2023.
Investigations are ongoing.
