A 16-year-old boy is among three young males who are believed to be affiliated with the Bed Bug’ gang who have been arrested by the police.
The police have claimed that the gang has been responsible for a recent flare-up of violence in the St Catherine North Police Division.
The Bed Bug gang is reportedly a breakaway faction of the Spanish Town-based Clansman gang.
The police, in a statement last week, indicated that the three youngsters were apprehended during a series of technology and intelligence-driven operations in Rivoli, Windsor Road and other nearby communities in Spanish Town.
On Thursday, February 18, 2021, at about 4:15 pm, a joint police/military operation was carried out in the El Prado Vista community in Spanish Town, which resulted in the arrest of the reputed leader of the Bed Bug gang.
