A massive police operation in the St Andrew communities of Park Lane, Hundred Lane and Cassava Piece led to the detaining of 91 men yesterday.

The operation which lasted approximately six hours, began about 3:00 a.m. and was carried out by per-sonnel from the St Andrew North Police, Mobile Reserve, the Joint Task Force, Area 5 Police and the Flying Squad.

During the operation, a number of premises were searched and the men subsequently held, six of whom the police say are major persons of interest wanted in connection with several crimes committed in the communities over the last two months.

All detainees will be processed and interviewed before further action is taken, if necessary.
