Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security and Peace, Dr Horace Chang, has denied reports that the first group of Third Country Nationals (TCNs) is being housed at a property in Grants Town, St Mary.

Speaking in a Ministerial Interview with Jamaica Information Service (JIS) Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Giovanni Dennis, at Jamaica House on Monday, Chang said that no such arrangements have been made to date.

He said he has asked the police to pay close attention to the area, to give reassurance to the citizens, and to ask individuals to maintain peace and order.
