Fears that the remnants of the Shower Posse recently rounded up in a raid in Toronto Canada may be deported to Jamaica may be unfounded.

Peter Sloly, Deputy Chief of the Toronto Police, who was a guest on Television Jamaica's "Smile Jamaica" Monday morning, said the majority of persons taken in the massive raid last week are not Jamaicans. Accordingly, Deputy Chief Sloly, a Jamaican born Canadian, says many of those arrested in the May 4 raid will not be deported to Jamaica. He says deportation will depend on the immigration status of these persons, many of whom are Canadian citizens. He noted that the raid stifled other Canada based gangs and despite media reports not only the Jamaican linked Shower Posse gang was involved.       "Unfortunately the reporting on this has focused on one particular group; in this case there was a link to a posse that has its main roots coming from Jamaica but of the individuals (held) are naturalized Canadians, people who were born here, second generation Canadians, people from various backgrounds," Deputy Chief Sloly said. A nine-month investigation culminated in the arrests of 78 people as police carried out several raids across Ontario, last week.   Apart from the arrests, the raids also resulted in the seizure of $30,000 in cash, 10,500 in casino cheques, 19 firearms, diamonds, drugs and vehicles.
