Police Commissioner Major General Antony Anderson says the police have arrested 3 persons in connection with the 21 illegal firearms that were discovered by the Jamaica Customs Agency earlier this month.

He was speaking during a joint digital press conference yesterday.

While underscoring the importance of collaboration in the crime fighting effort, Mr. Anderson noted that over the course of one week the Jamaica Constabulary Force, JCF, also seized 44 illegal weapons.

The JCF also used the occasion to launch a collaboration between the Financial Investigations Division, the JCF, the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency and the Jamaica Customs Agency.

The law enforcement agencies are collaborating through a new campaign to go after the unexplained wealth of criminals in Jamaica.

Major General Anderson says the collaboration is just  the start of their efforts to stifle these major criminal organisations.
