Spanish Town

A 15-year-old boy who was held yesterday at a house with four adult men will face the Children's Court as a juvenile in need of care and protection, the police said.

THE STAR learnt that sometime after 11 a.m., a police party got information of the five men behaving strangely at a house in Old Harbour, St Catherine. A raid was conducted and a number of women clothings, including bikinis, wigs, stockings and pictures of men dressed as women, were seen.

The cops say that the adults could not properly explain why the juvenile was at the dwelling and they were only able to ascertain that he is from St James and is not related to the other occupants.

Inspector Lanford Salmon of the Old Harbour police said they have released three of the adults since they were taken in for questioning.

"The juvenile is being held to appear in court and in the meanwhile we are going to try and find his parents or guardian. One of the adult also remained with us, as he is facing a charge of possession of ganja," the inspector said.

The police claim that they have been on high alert after a 12-year-old boy was abducted by men recently. He was taken to a section of Free Town, Clarendon, where he was buggered.
