The surge in violent crime plaguing the St Catherine North Police Division is having a crippling effect on business growth and heightening concern about public safety, especially in Bog Walk.
This disclosure was made by councillor Peter Abrahams of the Bog Walk division in the St Catherine Municipal Corporation.
Abrahams said that migrant criminals were creating mayhem in several communities.
“I have gone into places and observed that there are strange faces who are involved in crimes in Bog Walk,” Abrahams told
The Gleaner.
“I am prepared to work with the police to help, and get rid of them.”
There have been several murders in the division in recent weeks, the most chilling being the December 7 killing of Dwayne Excell, otherwise called ‘Cello’, a 26-year-old welder of Shenton district.
