Police attached to the Organised Crime Investigation division lead by Superintendent of police, Fitz Bailey, this morning raided the house of Cash Plus chairman Carlos Hill.
THE STAR was unable to confirm if Hill had been arrested and the police on the scene refused to comment on what was taking place.
Traffic to pile up
The raid caused traffic to pile up along Norbrook drive, where Hill lives and for the most part motorist had to resort to using a single lane.
Several persons passing by the home stopped to look at what was happening but uniformed police men instructed them to move along. Inside Hill's property several other uniformed and plain clothes policemen were either sitting down or could be seen pacing in the yard.
Three women and two men who had earlier identified themselves as Hill's employees, stood on the front porch, steering and chatting while the raid was in progress.
At about 8:45, two men who are employed to Quest security, who said that they were on the scene because the property was leased and they were ensuring that the police did not remove anything that belonged to the owners, were seen being prevented from entering the property.
A few minutes later however a wrecker was allowed inside the yard and it later exited, carrying a black Honda Ridgeline van and dark grey Acura RDX SUV that were being seized.
Up to press time the police were still on the scene and Karl Angell, director of communications for the Jamaica Constabulary Force, could not say when information would be made available to the media.
