A man was arrested this morning following the seizure of an assault rifle and a magazine containing ammunition during a police operation at a house in Grants Pen, St Andrew.

The operation was part of a wider initiative conducted by operatives in the St Andrew North Division, aimed at locating illegal firearms and ammunition, as well as apprehending wanted men and persons of interest linked to various crimes.

The police say the operation forms part of ongoing efforts to disrupt criminal networks operating within the division.

Those being sought are Shevon Matthews, otherwise called ‘Max’; Emar Grinham, otherwise called ‘Bully Beef’; Kenroy Willis, otherwise called ‘Papa’; and Tevin Harris, otherwise called ‘Ratty’.

Police are urging the individuals to turn themselves in immediately to the nearest police station.
