The fourth cop, a woman constable, was flown back home and is now in the custody of the St James police.

Gleaner sources have revealed that three of the implicated constables are assigned to the Granville Police Station while the fourth works out of the Freeport Police Station.

The woman constable, who was flown back to Jamaica on Tuesday, was undergoing intensive interrogation on Wednesday night.

The incident has again turned the spotlight on the St James police, which has had a storied history of police corruption in relation to drug crimes, lottery scamming, and involvement with criminal gangs.

The operation evokes memories of the 2009 interdiction of 18 police personnel assigned to the Mt Salem Police Station for alleged involvement in the illicit lottery, which has been the main source of funding for criminal gangs.
