St. James wanted man captured

The St. James Police have apprehended one of the division's most wanted criminals. 

He is 25-year-old Akeem Bailey, otherwise called 'Stamma', of an Albion Lane address in the parish. 

Bailey is also known to frequent Aboukir in St. Ann.

He was captured on CCTV footage that went viral on social media, robbing gas station pump attendants, armed with a handgun. 

Following the launch of Operation Relentless II, the St. James Police began several operations targeted at apprehending wanted men. 

He was arrested Friday during a high-level intelligence-driven operation in  Albion Lane. 

Bailey was charged Monday with robbery with aggravation after giving a caution statement to investigators. 

He is also a suspect in connection with a string of armed robberies committed at service stations, a hair dressing parlour and gambling houses in St. James, St. Ann, Trelawny and Hanover.

He is said to be cooperating with investigators. 

One of his associates is also in custody after being held by the police on September 19 in a stolen motor vehicle.
