POLICE INSPECTOR CHARGED IN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR COCAINE SEIZURE
A member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force has been charged after investigators from the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID) seized just over 5.8 kilograms of cocaine in Kingston on Thursday, January 8.
Charged is 51-year-old Martin Walker, a Detective Inspector of the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigations Branch.
At about 7:10 p.m., FNID personnel intercepted Walker at a business establishment on Moore Street, Kingston 4. During the operation, Walker’s vehicle was searched and a plastic bag containing the cocaine was found; it has an estimated street value of JM$3.5 million.
Walker was interviewed in the presence of his Attorney on Saturday, January 10, where he was subsequently charged with Possession of Cocaine, Dealing in Cocaine, Trafficking Cocaine and Conspiracy.
He is scheduled to appear before the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.
Director of FNID, Superintendent Patrae Rowe, said that the JCF is taking a full enforcement approach to breaches of the Dangerous Drugs Act.
“This arrest demonstrates that the Jamaica Constabulary Force does not exempt individuals from investigation or legal action. FNID will continue efforts to address illicit drugs and firearms, as well as individuals involved in these activities,” said Superintendent Rowe.
The public is urged to report illicit drugs and illegal firearms by contacting FNID at 876-923-6184, the National Intelligence Bureau at 811, Crime Stop at 311, or the nearest police station.
