Four men suspected to be hired killers were held in St Ann, during a police operation along the Parry Town man road, Tuesday night.
Police personnel carrying out checks under Operation Leviticus in the parish also seized a Browning pistol after stopping the men, who were travelling together in a motor car.
The men were subsequently charged for illegal possession of firearm and ammunition.
They are 27-year-old construction worker Wayne Williams, also called 'Chini'; 19-year-old Renaldo Bailey, also called 'Kemar'; 28-year-old labourer Damion Heron, also called 'Shortman'; and 24-year-old taxi operator Joel Fairclough, also called 'Junior'.
Three of the men are from St James, while one is from Parry Town.
The police believe they were in Parry Town to carry out a contract killing.
Acting Head of the St. Ann Police, Superintendent David White, said the search for other firearms continues.
