At least one of the persons who the police have asked to come in for questioning in relation to their possible connection to criminality is claiming ignorance.
The Police High Command said the appeal was being made as the security forces embark on another phase of their offensive on crime.
Rohan Silvera, who is named on a new list as one of the 25 persons in whom the police have an interest, says he is innocent.
Mr. Silvera ran on the Oppositions’ People's National Party (PNP) ticket in the Central St. Catherine seat against the Jamaica Labour Party's Olivia "Babsy" Grange in the last general election.
However, the police say Mr. Silvera is connected to the cash for gold scheme operating in Spanish Town, St. Catherine.
According to Mr. Silvera, who spoke with RJR News Friday morning, his involvement in the cash for gold business is long over.
He also denied any involvement in criminality.
Mr. Silvera said he is seeking legal advice.
“I was surprised because firstly I’m not linked to the Clansman Gang secondly, I’m not dealing in the cash for gold scheme nor am I a criminal mastermind, so I’m not certain if it’s me Rohan Dwight Silvera or another Rohan Silvera (the police are looking for). I’ve asked my attorney, Linton Walters, to check on it and see what it’s about and if it’s anything, I’m going to go in myself and find out what is it the police are saying,’ he said.
Several others being sought
Also on the new police list is East Kingston businessman Danhai Williams.
The High Command appealed to the two and 23 other persons believed to be affiliated with criminal gangs to turn themselves in at any police station.
The police are also seeking Western Kingston residents Orlando "Ochoy" O’Gilvie, Newton McLeod otherwise called Harold McLeod and "Harry Dog", Danny Banton as well as David Heron also known as “Reagie.”
In addition to Mr. Williams, two other persons of interest from East Kingston are being asked to report to the police.
They are Kevin Bryan and Michael Murray who is also known as “Bissi.”
Other persons said to be members of the West Stinger's Gang based in the Maxfield Avenue area as well as the New World Order, Cassie Allo, One Order and Clansman Gangs are also being asked to turn themselves in.
The police are also seeking other persons in volatile communities in Rema and Central Kingston.
Cooperating fully with the police
In the meantime, the PNP says arrangements are being made for Mr. Silvera to turn himself in to the police.
According to Julian Robinson, PNP Deputy General Secretary, Mr. Silvera has spoken with his attorney and is cooperating fully with the police.
“Mr. Silvera has been in touch with his attorney who has been in touch with the police and arrangements have been made for him to go in to the police and conduct an interview,” he said.
