'Dudus' bounty balloons

THE BOUNTY on the country's most-wanted fugitive Christopher 'Dudus' Coke has shot up to $5 million.

Late yesterday, the Police High Command reported that the reward was increased for information leading to the capture of the former Tivoli Gardens strongman who is now on the run.

Earlier this week, the police offered a reward of approximately J$1.7 million (US$20,000) for information leading to the capture of Coke following the issuing of a warrant of arrest by the courts of Jamaica. Coke is wanted by United States law-enforcement agencies to answer charges of gun and drug running.

Persons with information on the whereabouts of Coke are asked to call Operation Kingfish at 811, Crime Stop at 311 and Police Control at 119.
