Two Firearms Seized, Five Men in Custody for Clarendon Double Murder

Five men were taken into custody on Friday, June 26 after being intercepted by Clarendon Police at the Mineral Heights Toll Plaza in the parish. Two firearms and several rounds of ammunition were also seized in the incident.

The men were taken into custody in relation to the shooting death of two men on the Frankfield main road about 4:40 p.m. the same day. The dead men have been identified as Jermaine Jones, 33, and Allen Cameron, otherwise called ‘Puss’, both of John’s Hall, Silver Spring, Clarendon. They were reportedly driving along the roadway, when they were pounced upon by armed men travelling in a motor car who opened gunfire hitting them.

The Police were called and preliminary information received was that a white motorcar and a grey motorcar sped from the scene.

About an hour after the incident, five men in two vehicles matching the description of the vehicles seen leaving the scene were intercepted by two police teams. The men, all with St. Catherine addresses, were taken into custody and the vehicles seized.

During a subsequent search of the vehicles, a 9mm pistol with an empty magazine and one .40 pistol with a magazine containing six .40 live rounds were found.

Their names are being withheld pending further investigations.
