Four men detained, homemade gun seized in Stony Hill police operation

Four men were taken into custody by the police on Thursday during an operation in Stony Hill, St Andrew.

The police say a homemade firearm was recovered.

According to the police, about 1:00 p.m., a team carried out a snap raid in the vicinity of Brooks Level Road in Stony Hill, during which the firearm was seized and the men were subsequently detained.

Their identities have not yet been released.

The police say the men are being questioned as investigators seek to determine ownership of the weapon and whether any charges will be laid.

The incident is being investigated by the Stony Hill Criminal Investigations Branch.

Meanwhile, also in Stony Hill, police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating Fabian Dobson, otherwise called 'Tweety Bird', who is wanted for the murder of Javed Liscombe and the shooting and wounding of Liscombe’s father during an incident along Bowden Hill Road on February 23, 2025.

Dobson is being urged to surrender to the police immediately.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is being asked to contact the Stony Hill Police, Crime Stop at 311, or the nearest police station.

The appeal comes as the St Andrew North Police Division continues to record significant reductions in major crimes.

Up to June 13, the division had recorded a 71 per cent decline in murders and an 83 per cent reduction in shootings when compared with the corresponding period last year.
