THE St James police yesterday recovered two illegal firearms following an early morning gun battle with gunmen in the Wotumpeng area of Cambridge, St James, where officers had gone in search of wanted men aligned to the Ratty Gang.
According to the police’s Corporate Communications Unit (CCU), about 5:00 am, a police party approached premises where they believed wanted men were. They were immediately greeted by gunfire, but managed to take cover and return fire.
According to the CCU, two men — one later identified as Richard Anderson, otherwise called ‘Crews’, who was wanted for murders in St James, and an unidentified male — were found suffering from gunshot wounds. They were taken to hospital where they succumbed to their injuries. Other men who were at the premises escaped but the police were able to seize one Smith and Wesson revolver and one Colt pistol, which they believed were used by the two men during the gunfight.
The CCU said Ryan Peterkin, otherwise called ‘Ratty’, and his gang have been operating with impunity in the Cambridge area and are responsible for several murders, shootings, and robberies.

“Due to their exploits and mayhem, law-abiding citizens have been living in fear and are being held hostage,” said the CCU.
