A Jamaican-American who has been the subject of investigations locally is among five men indicted by the United States Department of Justice on firearms trafficking and related offences following a probe into an alleged transnational network involving the smuggling of stolen weapons from the US to destinations in the Caribbean.
According to a Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) news release late Monday, the US-Jamaican dual citizen has long featured prominently in investigations being conducted by the JCF’s Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID).
The accused are alleged to have been involved in a scheme that sourced firearms stolen during vehicle break-ins in the Atlanta metropolitan area and attempted to ship them overseas through commercial channels, according to the indictment unsealed in the Northern District of Georgia.
