Alleged ‘high risk’ serial robber among three killed in reported confrontation with police

KINGSTON, Jamaica — An alleged member of the Speculation Gang who the police have linked to two murders and a series of major robberies and break-ins across Jamaica was among three persons fatally shot during an operation in St Andrew early Sunday.

Dead is Dewar Archibald, otherwise called “Max”, described by police as a high-risk criminal target.

Reports are that a team from Specialised Operations was on patrol in the Red Hills area around 1:45 am when they received information that a group of armed men travelling in a red Honda HR-V and a white Toyota Probox were allegedly preparing to carry out criminal activities in the St Andrew North Police Division.
