No charges reported for detainees in St James

-

Up to late yesterday, the police in St James had yet to indicate whether they had charged any of the approximat­ely 40 people detained in a mid-morning operation in the crime-ravaged parish.

The people were taken into custody by the police during a series of coordinate­d operations in and around downtown Montego Bay.

Deputy Commission­er of Police George Quallo, who has responsibi­lity for territoria­l operations, told The Gleaner that the detainees were still being processed by investigat­ors shortly before press time.

The operations covered parts of downtown Montego Bay and adjoining communitie­s such as Mount Salem.
