Jamaica\'s Police Anti Corruption Branch has arrested two more members of the police force on corruption allegations.
One is a corporal attached to the Mounted Troop Division and the other a special sergeant attached to the Harmon Barracks Division.
The names of the policemen are being withheld pending an identification parade.
The police information unit reports that last week, the corporal seized a vehicle that belonged to a motorist for breaches of the Road Traffic Act.
