KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan 14, CMC – Jamaica police say the arrest of a 63-year-old property manager following the discovery of drugs worth more than half a million US dollars “sends a clear message that law enforcement agencies will continue to vigorously pursue and prosecute those involved in illicit activities”.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF Tuesday said that the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID) seized 134 kilograms of cocaine valued at over US$500 million during an operation in St. Andrew, a parish, situated in the southeast of the island, last Wednesday.
It said that the operation, conducted at an apartment complex led to the arrest of 63-year-old property manager, Allan Patrick Constable, who now faces “multiple charges under the Dangerous Drugs Act including- possession, dealing, and trafficking cocaine, conspiracy to traffic cocaine, and possession of criminal property”.
The JCF said that this significant seizure follows the apprehension of Christopher Keddo last on Monday, in St. James on the north-wet end of the island, where 42 pounds of cocaine were discovered.
It said separately, a St. Elizabeth farmer, George Scott, was arrested last Thursday, with 2.3 kilograms of cocaine.
“These recent successes demonstrate the FNID’s ongoing commitment to combating narcotics trafficking in Jamaica,” it added.
