Detective recounts gun find

A Clarendon police detective testified Thursday that he discovered two firearms hidden in a vehicle driven by former Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) bus driver Charles McLeary, one of 25 men on trial for crimes allegedly committed by the reputed Tesha Miller faction of the Klansman Gang.

That motor vehicle, a 2011 Honda Stream, was one of two seized by investigators after the takedown of five alleged members of the gang on Friday, June 26, 2020.

According to prosecutors, the accused — Bjourn Thomas, Sharn Gilzene, Conroy Cadogan, McLeary, and Kemar Francis — “knowingly facilitated the commission of a serious offence to wit the murder of Jermaine Jones and Allen Cameron” in John’s Hall, Clarendon, that same day. They were taken into custody following a highway chase.
