Major gun find in MoBay

Four guns, which the police theorised to be linked to the G-City gang operating in Norwood, St James, were seized during an operation yesterday.

The Corporate Communications Unit of the Jamaica Constabulary Force said that cops attached to the St James Police Division seized the weapons during cordon and search operations conducted in the Norwood and Angie Lane communities.

They found an M16 rifle, three pistols and 117 rounds of ammunition. Two persons were detained in connection with the seizures.

Yesterday's find is the latest in a series of successes being experienced by the St James police. About one week prior to yesterday's operation, the police intercepted members of the notorious 'Sparta gang' and seized two Glock 34 pistols with a quantity of ammuntion.

Additionally, the security forces over the past four weeks have been actively pursuing members of the 'Prekeh' gang, which resulted in two of its members being fatally shot, including the gang's reputed leader.
