In a pre-dawn operation conducted by the St Catherine South Police in Portsmouth, Portmore, Jamaica, three individuals, including a woman, were apprehended on Saturday. The operation, which took place around 5:00 am, targeted a residence on Portsea Road. During the search, law enforcement officers uncovered a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol concealed in a towel, accompanied by a magazine loaded with sixteen 9mm rounds. Further investigation led to the discovery of an additional four 9mm rounds hidden within a chest of drawers in one of the bedrooms. The three occupants of the house were promptly taken into custody. Authorities have chosen to withhold their identities as the investigation continues. This seizure underscores the ongoing efforts by Jamaican police to combat illegal firearms and enhance public safety in the region.
