KINGSTON, Jamaica - The Police High Command late Monday issued a statement confirming that a Jamaican teen who was denied entry into Suriname and returned to the island on Saturday, April 11, is in custody.
Media reports are that the 16-year-old boy was refused passage through Suriname on Saturday, after immigration officers suspected that he was travelling to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) through Turkey. |

Detectives from the Counter Terrorism and Organized Crime Branch (C-TOC), along with other law enforcement agencies, have been tasked to pursue several lines of investigation in relation to the incident, a release from the Corporate Communications Unit said.
“It would be premature to issue any detailed statement on this issue at this time,” head of C-TOC Assistant Commissioner of Police Devon Watkis said, explaining that the investigation is at a delicate stage.
ACP Watkis, however, assured the public that information would be made available as soon as possible. more
