KINGSTON, Jamaica—Prime Minister Andrew Holness is urging residents in Manchester not to accommodate or provide cover for criminals, as he links gang activity associated with lottery scamming to a spike in murders in the parish.
Holness said the activity is threatening the peaceful character of communities and urged residents to remain vigilant about who they allow to occupy their properties.
“We note that in the parish there is an increase in gang activities related to lottery scamming, which is causing a spike in the murder rates here,” the prime minister said.
