Jamaica Gleaner, Jamaica
While declining to name the 12, Deputy Commissioner of Police Lucius Thomas described the gangs as being highly organised and influential in narco-trafficking, extortion and gun-running.
Responding to questions about the inflow of illegal guns and ammunition into the island, DCP Thomas confirmed that the police were investigating reports of a major gun smuggling ring between Jamaica and Haiti.
Reports reaching The Gleaner are that small boats are leaving Jamaica from various points in St. Catherine, to Haiti, with narcotic drugs, which they trade in for high-powered weapons.
