The police in St Catherine are searching for a group of men who eluded cops, leaving behind a small quantity of ammunition for high-powered rifles.
Twenty rounds of 7.62 calibre ammunition used in AK-47 rifles and a single 12-guage shotgun cartridge were seized during the incident, which occurred in the community of Gordon Pen on Friday, according to the police.
Reports are that about 4:30pm a police team was on patrol in Gordon Pen when they saw three men behaving in a manner that aroused their suspicion.
They fled before cops could apprehend them.
The police say the bullets were found during the search of a juice box found where the men were seen.
