Two men have been charged with possession of identity information following a joint police-military operation in the Kiddland and Hamstead communities of Port Maria, St Mary on Tuesday.
They have been identified as 27-construction worker Shavan McKenzie and 26-year-old Maurice McKenzie, a tiler.
Two other men were also detained in the operation.
Head of the St Mary division Acting Superintendent Anthony Wallace said the raid targeted wanted individuals. It also sought to disrupt gang activities and recover illegal firearms and contraband.
It occurred between between 5:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.
Wallace said the other two men were being interviewed.
"The police continue to intensify efforts to dismantle criminal networks and reassure law-abiding citizens of their safety. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities," he added.
