While the Hellshire Beach in St Catherine is hugely popular with patrons for its fried fish and festival, it has gained much notoriety with the police and has been tagged a major hot spot for drug and gunrunning.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Clive Blair, operations officer for the St Catherine South Division, described the Hellshire Beach as the epicentre of the drugs-for-guns trade in the parish.

He said that the beach has also come up on the radar of the Jamaica Constabulary Force's narcotics branch, as well as its intelligence-driven unit known as Kingfish. Both units have carried out operations on the beach geared towards dismantling the illicit trade.

The current head of the Portmore municipality, Mayor Hinds, said that it will take political will to bring an end to the illicit trade. "What seems to have been the problem, all this time, is a political will to deal with the matter, and I am telling you that I can lead and I have that political will and I am going to deal with it," the mayor declared.
