“We will find you!” – Portland Police Chief says JCF has capacity to carryout thorough probes into bomb threats and make arrests

Head of the Portland Police, Superintendent Ainsley McCarthy, says yesterday’s apprehension in connection with recent bomb threats at two Portland-based schools was not the first arrest to be made in relation to the act.

Superintendent McCarthy made the declaration, following concerns raised yesterday by the President of the Jamaica Teachers’ Association, Mark Malabver.

Yesterday morning, a bomb threat disrupted classes at the Portland High School, days after a similar incident at the nearby Port Antonio High.

Mr. Malabver told IRIE FM News that there had been several bomb threats at educational institutions in recent years and expressed concern that the police were not using their resources to hold perpetrators accountable.

However, later in the day, a child was apprehended in relation to the two Portland incidents.

Speaking on the matter this morning, Superintendent McCarthy stressed that the JCF has the capacity to carryout thorough investigations into bomb threats and make the necessary arrests.

Noting that the JCF has access to enhanced technology, the Superintendent said investigators have not hesitated to use it.

Superintendent McCarthy said persons who choose to make bomb threats must desist from doing so, as the JCF will use its resources to find those responsible.
