National Security Minister, Peter Bunting, says the work of Jamaica’s lotto scam task force which this week detained over fifty persons suspected of being operatives in the deadly lotto scam, has been receiving rave reviews from the United States.
He says the unit, which comprises 13-investigators, has successfully prosecuted over 6-hundred persons in the last year-and-a-half.
Minister Bunting says the lotto scam task force has been a shining light in the Constabulary Force.

Between Monday and Tuesday of this week, 41 suspects were arrested by the lotto scam task force following operations in Trelawny and Westmoreland.
Seventeen of those have since been charged with breaching the island’s ant-lotto scam laws.
