Another ‘most wanted’ man in St James has been captured or killed by the police.
Anthony Angus, who was featured in the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s (JCF) Wanted Wednesdays campaign on October 5, was captured in St Elizabeth on Friday, October 7.
A team from the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigations Branch (C-TOC) swooped down on a house in Burnt Savannah in the parish earlier on Friday and, realising that he was surrounded by highly trained operatives, Angus surrendered.
Another man who was at the house, was also arrested.
Angus is the second high-value target on the St James most wanted list to be accosted in St Elizabeth in only two days, following the fatal shooting of Oshane ‘Motumbo’ Earle in the neighbouring parish on Wednesday, October 5.
As the JCF’s Operation Relentless II continues, the police are urging wanted persons to turn themselves in.
The JCF further warned fugitives that if confronted by the police, they are to surrender and not engage the police in confrontations.

Press Release:
The Antigua and Barbuda Pharmacy Council and by extension the Ministry of Health, Wellness & The Environment would like to advise the public of some very important issues of concern relating to three (3) products that can result in serious health challenges if consumed.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an alert on the use of Kingdom Honey Royal Honey VIP, a product that is marketed primarily on the internet for sexual enhancement. Analysis of this product has confirmed the presence of “Sildenafil”, the active ingredient in “Viagra”.
The public particularly individuals taking medication containing nitrates eg. Nitroglycerine are advised not to consume this product because it may result in the lowering of their blood pressure to dangerous levels.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also issued an alert on the use of contaminated cough and cold syrups made by an Indian drug manufacturer, Maiden Pharmaceuticals.
The Authorities are investigating the deaths of dozens of children in Gambia from kidney injuries possibly linked to the contaminated cough and cold products. The products implicated are:
Promethazine Oral Solution
Kofexmalin Baby Cough Syrup
Makoff Baby Cough Syrup
Magrip N Cold Syrup
Laboratory analysis revealed the presence of unacceptable levels of diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol both of which can be toxic when consumed.
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) in the USA has signaled the alarm having noticed an emerging trend by drug traffickers to deliberately drive addiction amongst children and young adults by marketing “Fentanyl” a synthetic opioid, as brightly colored candies. “Rainbow Fentanyl” as the products are called are marketed as pills, powder or blocks and resembles sidewalk chalk.
Fentanyl is fifty (50) times more potent than Heroin and one hundred (100) times more potent than Morphine which contributes to its highly addictive potential.
The Antigua and Barbuda Pharmacy Council will continue to monitor these developing public health challenges and work along with its partners particularly the Customs and Excise Division to ensure that the products identified are not imported into the state of Antigua and Barbuda.
In the event that any of these products are already in circulation and consumed members of the public are advised to discontinue their use immediately and call the Ministry of Health at 462-5522 Ext 240 or have a discussion with their health care provider.

The Ministry of Health & Wellness says it has taken note of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) alert over four cough and cold syrups made by Maiden Pharmaceuticals in India, warning they could be linked to the deaths of 66 children in the Gambia.
“Our records indicate that neither the manufacturer nor the product is registered with the Ministry of Health & Wellness and, therefore, the possibility of the product entering Jamaica is remote,” Minister of Health & Wellness, Dr Christopher Tufton, said in a release Friday.
“Additionally, our pharmacovigilance system has already alerted the Standards & Regulation Division of the ministry and our Import Permit Department is monitoring all donations and personal imports to further reduce the risk of the product entering the country,” Dr Tufton added.
According to the medical product alert issued by WHO on Wednesday, the four products are Promethazine Oral Solution, Kofexmalin Baby Cough Syrup, Makoff Baby Cough Syrup, and Magrip N Cold Syrup.
“To date, the stated manufacturer has not provided guarantees to the WHO on the safety and quality of these products,” the alert said, adding that laboratory analysis of samples of the products “confirms that they contain unacceptable amounts of diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol as contaminants.”

Financial analyst Dennis Chung is suggesting that the recent ruling by the Revenue Court, which effectively means security guards are now entitled to the benefits afforded to persons categorized as employees, could work against them as companies seek to straddle the increased cost of providing the service.
The increased costs could see security firms cutting staff as their clients adopt technological solutions to satisfy their security needs instead of manpower, according to Chung said.
“I think effectively, it is going to work more against the security guards themselves than the actual companies because they will find something else that has a greater return on capital,” Chung reasoned.
The Jamaica Society for Industrial Security (JSIS) has signalled that the cost of private security services could jump by at least 50 per cent following the recent landmark ruling by the high court that security guards are to be treated as employees and not contract workers.
“People are going to be faced with a decision for their companies. If their clients are not willing to take on the added cost, then there will be no reason to employ someone,” the financial analyst suggested.
The court ruled that security guards engaged by Marksman Limited are employees and not contract workers and that the company should begin paying its portion of National Housing Trust (NHT) statutory contributions immediately.
The NHT challenged the private security firms in court following their refusal to accept the Trust’s declaration that the security guards they engaged are employees and not contract workers.
“I am not surprised about the ruling because the labour laws do say that if someone is continuously on a contract, then effectively you treat them like an employee. So all the statutory payments are to be made,” Chung said.”
The employee benefits such as paid vacation and sick leave, which the companies are now expected to adhere to, will likely see some companies cutting jobs, he said.
“Depending on how much the costs go up, you may find that they may be cutting back on the number of people they employ,” he said.
“It’s the same argument with the minimum wage when people say it should be increased. But how many people will lose their jobs? That is the balancing act that the government has to make … because it is based on affordability,” Chung added.
“Remember that money always follows capital, and people will always find ways to organize themselves and make money. It could be as simple as saying: ‘this is not a profitable industry anymore, let me sell out and go somewhere else,” he reasoned.
