Security forces conducted a major operation in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, this morning (March 16), in search of wanted men.

Head of the St. Catherine North police division, Senior Superintendent Howard Chambers said the operation started at 5:00 AM and ended shortly after noon.

He said the operation was a continuation of the work that has been taking place in the division, since the start of the year.

He noted that the over 50% reduction in murders in the division, this year, in comparison to the similar period last year, is a reflection of the work being done.
