BLOCKADES AROUND TIVOLI 2 PREVENT POLICE FROM ENTERING

BLOCKADES are erected at all entrances to Tivoli Gardens.

The blockades are a measure of the fear in Tivoli that the community is likely to be invaded by police and soldiers in an effort to arrest Coke.

Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) soldiers kept a close watch on the movements in the city from a JDF helicopter.

A source at the Denham Primary School, located opposite Coke's community base of Tivoli Gardens, told the Observer that school went on "as normally as was possible", although students and teachers were described as "tense" and "on the alert".

The source said many roads in the communities surrounding the school located, on Spanish Town Road, were blocked.

The source said many roads in the communities surrounding the school located, on Spanish Town Road, were blocked, but that the school population had encountered similar situations before.
