Two men, including a foreign national, were taken into custody, in connection with the seizure of an illegal firearm, and several rounds of ammunition, which were discovered in a crate, that was shipped from an address in the USA to Jamaica on Wednesday, April 3.
The police say both men will be subsequently slapped with criminal charges, immediately after they have been interviewed in the presence of their lawyer.
Reports are that about 1:00 p.m., on Wednesday, Detectives attached to the Counter-Terrorism and Organized Crime Investigation Branch, and Jamaica Customs Agency Contraband Enforcement Team, carried out an operation at premises along Industrial Terrace, in West Kingston.
During the operation, a crate which had just been shipped from the United States was searched, and the weapon a Ruger 9mm semi-automatic pistol, and several rounds of ammunition were found in the crate.
