Five Policemen Among Six Held in Connection with “Drug Boat”

One civilian and five policemen were arrested on Thursday on suspicion of larceny and corruption.

According to a statement from the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency, MOCA, there were allegations that on April 22 this year the policemen seized a boat which entered Jamaican waters from Costa Rica.

It was suspected that the boat was used in the illegal drug trade. 

The six individuals reportedly solicited a large sum of  money for the  boat to be returned to its owner.

  

A report was made to MOCA and the investigation led to the arrests. 

The persons arrested are to be interrogated and stand in identification parades.
