The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is reporting significant progress in its efforts to apprehend wanted individuals. Within a 24-hour period, three persons who were listed on our online Wanted Wednesdays campaign have been accounted for. Two of them were captured and the other was fatally shot during a confrontation with the Police.

Romario Grant otherwise called ‘Kaka’, who was named as wanted in January and was featured on Wanted Wednesdays in June for murder in the St. Andrew South Police was captured by the Kingston Eastern Police. He was captured after the vehicle he was travelling in was intercepted on Buds Crescent in Kingston 2.

Twenty-five-year-old Michael Williams otherwise called ‘Dry Goods’, was subsequently arrested in the Bogue area in St. James on Saturday, September 14, and a warrant was executed on him. He was later charged.

Meanwhile, forty-three-year-old Andrew Powell, otherwise called ‘Killer’ and ‘Bounty’, another wanted person, was fatally shot during a confrontation with police on Kings Street, Spanish Town, St Catherine at about 4:55 p.m., on Saturday, September 14.

The apprehension of these individuals underscore the JCF’s commitment to maintaining law and order and ensuring the safety of the Jamaican public. The police force will continue its relentless pursuit of wanted criminals to bring them to justice.
