Rifles among five-gun seizure in Salt Spring
Jun 8th, 2022 | Category: Special Reports | 4:00#JamaicaGleaner JUNE 8, 2022: A man is in custody and three AR-15 rifles and two Smith & Wesson handguns are off the streets of St James, as the security forces continued their war of attrition in weapon seizures. The guns were found Tuesday afternoon in inner-city Salt Spring, where there has been a flare-up of violent crime in recent months. The finds, which included a large cache of assorted ammunition, are the first ‘jackpot’ for the new acting commanding officer of the parish, Superintendent Carlos Russell. Seventy-eight illegal guns have been seized in St James since the start of the year.
