TWO ST. ANN residents, who are before the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court for unlawful possession of passports, were remanded after the investigators said they could be a flight risk and hamper further investigations.
Farmer Claude Gardener, 28, and Oneke Nevins, 19, student, are maintaining their innocence.
The men were remanded yesterday after RM Winsome Henry was told that they were carrying out investigations in relation to other fraudulent visas that may be linked to the accused men.
Allegations say about 7:30 a.m. on January 22, police conducted an operation in Catherine Hall, Montego Bay. They went to premises where the accused men were seen using a computer, allegedly making adjustments to a United States visa.
The visa was inside one of two passports, bearing the names Courtney Kelly and Audley Gillespie, found at the house. It was subsequently discovered that the visa belonged to one of Nevins' deceased relative.
Further allegations are that the lawmen found several copies of the visa in different stages of reproduction in the name of Christopher Kelly.
Gardener and Nevins will be taken back to court on February 8.
