PM says efforts to overcome organised criminal enterprises and dismantle structures of organised violence in Jamaica will continue

Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness has stated that efforts to overcome organised criminal enterprises will continue.

He has commended the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) and the Jamaica Customs Agency for their pivotal role in stemming the flow of illegal contraband into the country.

This is in the wake of what has been described as a historic seizure of illegal weapons and ammunition at a warehouse in Kingston.

The authorities confiscated 74 rifles, 159 handguns, as well as over 40,000 rounds of ammunition.

Speaking yesterday at a special post-Cabinet press briefing, Dr. Holness noted that the agencies have worked tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to disrupt transnational criminal networks and intercept dangerous goods before they reach communities.

He noted that their efforts have not only strengthened border security, but have sent a clear message to criminal networks that Jamaica is closing the gateways to guns, gangs and illicit trade.

Dr. Holness said this and other such seizures are the results of consistent policy, strategic execution and coordinated law enforcement.

He said the authorities are fundamentally changing the risk-reward matrix for crime.
