Search continues for missing cop

The police and the Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard continued their extensive search of land and sea for the missing policeman who is suspected to have drowned in Discovery Bay, St Ann on June 15.

He is Constable Omain Roberts of a Falmouth address in Trelawny, who was assigned to the Operational Support Team (OST) in the St James division.

The search party, which included teams from the St Ann division, Mobile Reserve, Canine Division (who utilised cadaver dogs), Marine Division and the JDF Coast Guard, combed through several regions, including several communities within a two mile radius. The search at sea was also far-reaching as it extended to Runaway Bay, Silver Sands and went as far as Falmouth. But the teams had no success in finding the missing lawman.

The team of experts remain committed to the cause, and according to Superintendent Wayne Cameron Head of the St Ann division, they remain committed to the cause.

"We will continue these coordinated efforts in order to bring some closure to this situation. It is a very emotional time for our members, especially those who knew Constable Roberts, but I want to assure the family that our adept efforts will continue to include assistance from local fisher folk and residents," he said.
