Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Area 3, Michael Smith, is warning party promoters, particularly those in Clarendon, Manchester and St. Elizabeth, to desist from hosting events or parties that are in breach of the Disaster Risk Management Act (DRMA).

The warning comes on the heels of concerns raised by members of the divisional intelligence unit, about an event to be held in St. Elizabeth between midnight and 7 AM tomorrow.

The police say the event, which is being promoted by a popular dancehall entertainer, is also being widely circulated on social media.

Speaking with IRIE FM News, ACP smith said patrons who intend to go to this event, are being warned not to attend, as they would be in breach of the DRMA and will be prosecuted when caught.

ACP Smith notes that the police will be exercising vigilance throughout area 3, to prevent all illegal events in the region.
