Two men were shot and killed by the police in Denham Town, Kingston, yesterday as the security forces continue their fight to wrestle the community out of the hands of criminals.

The deceased men, Fitzroy Gaynor and Demar Cameron, were killed during a joint police/military operation in Denham Town, Kingston. Two firearms were seized from the dead men.

Reports are that the men allegedly engaged the lawmen in a brazen shoot-out at different sections of the community.

THE WEEKEND STAR gathered that the police entered the community about 5 a.m. as part of a sustained operation to maintain stability in the area.

Several high profile members of the constabulary were on hand yesterday to assure the citizens that normalcy would be restored, though they may have to endure some form of inconvenience.

Sections of Denham Town have been under siege for sometime.

Recently, an 11-year-old girl was laid to rest as a result of being hit by the bullet of one of the hoodlums, who continue to wreak havoc on the community.

The police promise to maintain a presence in west Kingston.

A man accused of tendering several fraudulent cheques amounting to $750,000 to telecommunications company LIME was remanded in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

He is Delroy Harrison who told the court that he was operating a business, and did not know that no money was in his account at the time the cheques were issued.

Harrrison returns to court on October 7, when the matter will be mentioned as the file is incomplete.

Allegations are that Harrison owes LIME $750,000 and tendered several cheques to the company that bounced.

"Your Honour, I am only guilty in di sense dat mi never know dat no money was in the account. I operate a business and am busy on the road, I didn't know that no money was in the account," Harrison said.

Harrison also told the court that it was while making an attempt to settle his outstanding arrears that he was arrested by the police.

The prosecution said that Harrison is a conman.
