Persons are being encouraged to report cyber and fraud-related crimes, which have seen an increase for the Christmas season.
Head of the Jamaica Constabulary Force JCF Corporate Communications Unit, Senior Superintendent of Police SSP, Stephanie Lindsay, said the Police have seen an uptick in these crimes, as criminals seek to capitalise on the commercial activities during Christmas.
SSP Lindsay explained that the Police noticed the trend around the time of the recent Black Friday, when many persons were shopping.
She is encouraging persons who may have fallen victims to the crime to make the reports, not just to their banks, but also to the Police.
She explained that outside of finding the perpetrators of the crime, the police reports assist in data analysis.
