November 24, 2005
FOUR OF the 20 illegal guns intercepted by Operation Kingfish at the Kingston Wharves on November 8 have turned out to be weapons that were stolen in the United States.
This was confirmed by a police source close to the investigations. Superintendent Devon Watkis of the Organised Crime Investigation Division (OCID), while declining to comment on the trace of the firearms, said the investigations were progressing smoothly.
"We are being assisted by our overseas counterparts," said Supt. Watkis, who is part of a mandate to track down and apprehend the notorious crime bosses operating across the country.
In relation to the illegal guns, the senior officer said police investigators are now inquiring into what they believe are fictitious documents used by several individuals in the illegal importation of the 20 guns and over 130 assorted rounds of ammunition.
