“The criminals we are dealing with are not poor, unattached youth, who are hungry and destitute; far from it. These are men and women who have made a conscious decision to pursue a life of crime and violence. They are amassing considerable amounts of wealth and they are using that wealth to purchase guns, to hire gunmen and support gangs". Commissioner Anderson said.

This is what many of has said over the years. The tax agencies can do a good job to begin with and have the other agencies dig into the bank accounts and other assets of these over-night rich people. I am not so sure why it took so long for the security forces to take a stand.

Many big businesses are going to be get caught in this effort; if they are smart they will start cooperate the police. If left unstopped this gun/drugs trade is going to cause civil war in Jamaica.
