(Jamaica Gleaner) Five barrels shipped from the United States, labelled groceries and clothing, were found to contain assembled guns, some designer (Gucci) plated, and firearm accessories to further assemble at least 39 pistols along with approximately 2,800 ammunition, at a wharf in Kingston.

Though the discovery was made Wednesday, the police had not issued a public statement up to press time on Thursday, but sources close to the ongoing investigation told The Gleaner that the authorities had intended to trace the importation of the illegal cache of weapons to its designated collector and destination.
