Police at the Clarendon Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB) have listed Menelek Youngsam, the man seen in viral videos on social media showcasing a firearm, as wanted.

In the videos, Youngsman can be seen recording himself while holding a firearm. Throughout the video, he also sends messages to people who he believes abandoned him in his times of need.

The police are advising that Youngsam should report to the May Pen CIB by 6pm today (May 8).

Reports from the CIB are that Youngsman, otherwise known as ‘One-and-Ready’ is also wanted for several crimes committed across the division and is considered a threat to residents in Clarendon. He was also listed as a person of interest before the videos.

The wanted man is said to have last resided in two areas. These include Old Harbour Bay, St Catherine and Sunset Crescent, Four Path in Clarendon.

The police in Clarendon are appealing to anyone with information that can assist them in locating Menelek Youngsam to contact the May Pen police at 876-986-2208, police 119 emergency number, Crime Stop at 311, or the nearest police station.
