ST JAMES, Jamaica—Deputy Director of the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID) for the Western Region, Deputy Superintendent Courtney Wilson, said the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), through its targeted operations by the FNID, has been making significant disruptions in transnational and organised crime.

Western Jamaica alone has accounted for 31 per cent of ganja seized across the island.

“In the western region since the start of this year, we have arrested 65 persons, 62 of whom we have charged for trafficking in various drugs, possession, dealing in, attempting to export, and, interestingly, importing and conspiracy. That is just for the western region only, meaning Montego Bay, Hanover, Westmoreland, Trelawny, St James,” said Wilson.
