The Police say they will continue their unrelenting effort to dismantle the One Order and Clansman gangs operating in St. Catherine.
Over the last few days lawmen seized eight firearms, three rifles, five handguns and over 1000 assorted rounds of ammunition – in McCooks Pen, Spanish Town, St. Catherine, which intelligence suggests were under the control of the One Order Gang.
The JCF says it is committed to reducing the influence of both gangs in St. Catherine and has enhanced deployment of intelligence operatives, investigators and operational personnel in areas dominated by them.
The JCF says it is also collaborating with several interest groups and stakeholders to dissuade youngsters from joining criminal gangs as well as to assist those who are trying to leave/quit the gangs.
Focusing on dissuading youth is a bandaid solution. They are NOT the root of the priblem. The real focus should be on corrupt police officers and politicians who enable/finance gang leaders to flood the streets with guns and drugs. But hey I guess focusing on those who are the youngest poorest and the most uneducated the least poweful has worked and should continue to work in reducing crime.
“Interest groups and stake holders” **side eye** Not trying to be negative nancy but I hope they have a genuine interest and not hidden agendas.

Since the start of the year, local investigators working with US counterparts, have ensured the conviction of three top-tier members of these gangs, namely Everton ‘Rado’ Minott, Rohan ‘Placka’ Hope and Richard ‘Ryda’ Shelley, who have been sentenced to 12, five and 20 years respectively, for a range of offences.
Rado >> 12 years
Placka >> 5 Years and
Ryda >> 20 Years (AKA Tristan Baker)
How these sentence was made and no one mention it? Ryda really get 20-years?
The big man dem a do some serious time. Then get deported back to Jamaica to create more mayhem. At least they are off the streets for now.
