An early-morning joint police/military operation headed by the Lottery Scam Task Force at a night club at the border of St Ann and Trelawny netted quite a catch.
According to the police, more than 130 persons, including ten women and two wanted men, were detained on Saturday morning. However, in what appeared quite bizarre, some of the big, muscular men, were daintily attired in sexy female clothing.
Many of these cross-dressers are said to be involved in the lottery scam.
Head of the Lottery Scam Task Force, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Leon Clunis, stated that the police thought that there were many females in the nightclub, "but in reality there were not more than 11 females; most of them were males dressed as females."
Clunis, in an interview with the Gleaner, added, "We have no interest in one's sexuality or sexual preference, we are dealing with crime and criminality in general. As long as it is committed, we are coming after you."
Several motor vehicles and over 100 cellular phones were also seized in the operation, which was conducted at a club on the outskirts of Discovery Bay in St. Ann.
The police also confiscated an imitation firearm, machetes, knives, scissors, three laptops, and an undisclosed quantity of ganja.
According to the police, based on intelligence that lottery scammers were having a party, the joint team went to the club around 4am and conducted a cordon and search exercise. They say a number of the individuals who have been taken into custody will be processed and released.
