Police Seek Public Assistance in Capturing 17 St James Wanted Men

Jamacia News, January 26, 2018

St James, Jamaica (Mckoy’s News) – St James Wanted Men: the Jamaica Constabulary Force and the Jamaica Defence Force have stepped up the search for some of St James’ most dangerous criminals with an online viral campaign seeking public assistance. The seventeen men are wanted in connection with gang activities and other crimes including multiple murders, wounding and shooting with intent and rape.

According to Inspector Dian Bartley of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, “These criminals are ruthless, dangerous and brazen and show blatant disregard for human life, law and order and the security forces. Persons who either protect them or turn a blind eye to their activities put themselves and their loved ones at risk as the inter and intra-gang violence often claim innocent lives”.

St James Wanted Men: as part of the security operations under the Public State of Emergency currently in effect in St James, there is an online campaign utilizing the twitter and facebook pages, Facebook.com/takebackstjames and witter.com/takebackstjames. This initiative by the security forces is geared towards gaining information to assist with the dismantling of gangs and the reduction of crime in St James.

“Without the public support and the information it generates, it is difficult for the security forces to effectively plan and execute operations,” added Bartley. “We are appealing to the citizens of St James and by extension, across Jamaica, to help us ferret out these murderers as part of our efforts to take back St. James”.

St James Wanted Men: Bartley says, “The security forces’ Tip HotLine, which is manned by JDF soldiers on a 24-hour basis, is secure and confidential and there is no reason to identify yourself or give your name when you call.” The Tip Hotline can be reached at 837-8888 or via email at takeback.stjames@jdf.mil.jm. Persons can also call Crime Stop at 311.

The names of the 17 wanted men are listed below. Images of these persons can also be found at
