Jamaican police have busted a suspected scamming operation following an intelligence-led raid in the Mount Pleasant district of Portland on February 16.

The operation resulted in three men — all with addresses in St Andrew and St Thomas — being charged with Possession of Identity Information.

Charged are 23-year-old Mario Barnes, 21-year-old Duvhaun Perry and 20-year-old Omar Cummings.

According to reports, a police team armed with a search warrant carried out a raid at a multi-storey house in the community. 

As officers approached the premises, the occupants allegedly threw cellular phones and other electronic devices into nearby bushes.

The property was searched and 10 individuals were found inside the house.

Investigators later uncovered several cellular phones and four motor vehicles on the premises. The vehicles were also searched in the presence of the individuals at the location.

The three men were escorted to the Port Antonio Police Station, where they were formally charged. 

Police reported that the devices seized during the operation contained multiple files with personal information belonging to individuals residing outside of Jamaica.

A court date for the men to answer to the charges is currently being arranged.
