Prime Minister Andrew Holness has declared a State of Public Emergency in sections of the Corporate Area.
The enhanced security measure covers communities in St Andrew Central, St Andrew Southern and Western Kingston.

This latest announcement is a continuation of the government's use of emergency powers to clamp down on crime hotspots on the island.
