(Jamaica Gleaner) – Alleged crime lord, Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke was captured four days after a $5 million bounty was put up for him, but the police are now trying to figure out if anyone gets the money.

Acting Deputy Commis-sioner of Police, Glen Hinds said this is due to the fact that information began pouring into the police shortly after Coke fled his Tivoli Gardens base at the start of the military incursion on May 24.

“We got a number of leads before the (military-police) intervention and we got several leads before the reward and after the reward (was offered) so we are still looking,” Hinds told The Gleaner this week.

The $5 million bounty, believed to be a record in Jamaica, was put up on June 18, three days after the initial reward of US$20,000 (J$1.7 million) was described as inadequate.

Coke was taken from a sports utility vehicle driven by popular evangelical pastor, Reverend Merrick ‘Al’ Miller, during a police dragnet along Mandela Highway on June 22.

Police officials have said the checkpoint was set up based on intelligence. Miller, who told police at the scene that he was taking Coke to the United States Embassy in Kingston, has since been charged with harbouring a fugitive and perverting the course of justice.

He pleaded not guilty when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate Court last Friday.

Acting Deputy Commis-sioner Hinds could not say how long it will take to determine if anyone gets the bounty because several factors have to be considered.

However, he said the $5 million will stay with the police if it is determined that no one qualifies for it.
