According to media reports, law enforcement agents in Trinidad have captured a Jamaican fugitive wanted for multiple serious crimes.
The authorities have identified the fugitive as 60-year-old Dockery Courtney Radcliffe. Law enforcement arrested him in Trinidad and Tobago in connection with several serious crimes in Jamaica. This came after Interpol issued a Red Notice.
A Red Notice is a request issued by Interpol at the request of a member country or an international tribunal. This request alerts police globally about a person wanted for serious crimes, such as murder, rape, child abuse, or armed robbery. It contains identifying information such as name, date of birth, nationality, photographs, fingerprints, and details of the alleged crime. While it facilitates the arrest and extradition process, each country decides independently whether to act on it in accordance with its own laws.
On Wednesday, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) issued a statement regarding an operation conducted by several units, including the Criminal Investigation Department, the Criminal Records Office, the Immigration Investigations Unit, and the Anti-Kidnapping Unit. The operation took place on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
During this operation, officers visited a location on Cumuto Road in Barrackpore. There, they apprehended Radcliffe, who is the subject of a Red Notice. Radcliffe is wanted in Jamaica on multiple charges. These charges include robbery with aggravation, rape, grievous sexual assault, and abduction.
The Jamaican fugitive is currently in police custody. The Immigration Enforcement Unit will process him once extradition proceedings begin.
Police neutralized Jamaican break-in suspect “Bobby” in Santa Cruz.
On Thursday, November 12, 2026, law enforcement officers shot and neutralized a Jamaican man, identified only by his alias “Bobby.” The shooting occurred after “Bobby” allegedly confronted officers at a bus park in Santa Cruz, St. Elizabeth. Authorities believe the suspect was involved in a recent break-in at a hardware store.
The police say the incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. at the Maggotty Bus Park in the center of Santa Cruz. Police were on patrol when they received information about a male suspect who reportedly possessed a firearm at the transportation center. Acting on this information, officers approached the suspect, who allegedly engaged them in a gun battle.
During the firefight, the suspect sustained gunshot wounds. The officers rushed him to the hospital, where a doctor pronounced him deceased on arrival. During the incident, police recovered a 9mm pistol and eight rounds of ammunition.
