PNP Councillor for the Mt Salem Division in St James, Kerry Thomas believes the zone of special operation (ZOSO) established in his division three-and-a-half years ago, has lost its effectiveness in curbing crime.
“At this stage the zone is starting to reach a place of diminishing returns, in other words, the policing that is taking place, I think has become significantly complacent with the residents and they are not having the effects of what we had anticipated, what we had hoped for and what we had expected from the Zone of Special Operation in Mt. Salem,” says Cllr Thomas.
With an intense focus on tracking down and bringing persons who are wanted by the law in the parish to justice, the St James police have listed a number of such individuals, who are being asked to turn themselves in, this while members of the public are being asked to provide information, where applicable, on the whereabouts of the suspected felons.
Only on Monday of this week, the police in the parish reaped success with the capture of a person who was wanted for murder. The development stemmed from the February 5 killing of Marvin Holness at about 9:30 pm.
Holness was reportedly fatally shot by a man known as Fabian Morris, otherwise called ‘Killy Killy’.
