GEORGE Phang, reputed Arnett Gardens area leader has turned himself into police.
A police source told the Observer that Phang appeared at the Half-Way Tree Police station earlier today.
The move comes a day after police released a list of names including that of Tivoli Garden‚s don Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, his brother Leighton 'Livety' Coke, and 11 other alleged gang leaders requesting they turn themselves in.
Hours before dawn yesterday, police went to a premises in the upscale community of Kirkland Heights in upper St Andrew after they gained intelligence that Coke was hiding out there.
The cops did not get Coke, but instead fatally shot Keith Clarke, the brother of former People's National Party Member of Parliament Claude Clarke. Four Jamaica Defence Force soldiers were injured.
The Bureau of Special Investigations is investigating.
The police also said they wanted Donovan Ainsworth, otherwise called 'Pepsi', and Delano Walker, also called 'Fidel' of the Central Kingston community known as 'Tel Aviv'; Anthony Harding, also called 'Prince Pow' of the POW Crew; Earl Brown, also called 'Chun' of Top Road; Jermaine Layne, also called 'Cutter' of Bryden Street; Everton Douglas, also called 'Fuba', and Troy Ricketts, also called 'Okra', of Jacques Road; Michael Ewan, also called 'Mikey One Two', of Goodwich Lane; Michael Murray, also called 'Bizzy', and Andrew Salmon, also called 'Alcapone', of Hypolite Road in Rockfort, East Kingston.
Yesterday, 11 wanted men turned themselves in to the police after they were named among 23 most wanted persons. A police source at the St Andrew North Police Division said members of the Common gang appeared shaky when they turned up at the Constant Spring Police Station.
