Police swoop down on the St Paul Street base of accused gang leader Calvin Lee, arresting four people. Residents of the area say the man was wrongfully arrested and are calling on the Police Commissioner to release CCTV footage to support their claim.
00:00 Police swooped down on St. Paul Street as they searched the residence of Calvin
00:05 Lee also known as Tyson and Six Boss. It is a follow-up to what happened last
00:11 Saturday one resident and eyewitness tells us.
00:15 The police speed in St. Paul Street, they run through the building, they aim a gun at him so the young ladies that was below the building started to retaliate.
00:25 They searched him in front of everybody that was present. The young man had no gun.
00:30 When they leave, they speed off with him in a black jeep. They say they call him in Besson Street.
00:36 When they reach Besson Street, there were plenty of the girls and the guys who went down there.
00:40 They say they are full. They cannot accept him. They call him carnage.
00:45 When the lawyer goes to carnage and asks, did the old lodger come in when they bring the young man? No.
00:51 Why it is no one is saying that they find the man with a Glock?
00:56 There's one set of police keep coming here and targeting the people here which is St. Bob's Police.
01:01 These residents say the man was not armed as being claimed by police who report a Glock 17 was found on his person.
01:10 All you know Mr. Lee Burdage is tomorrow. All you willfully come and look at the young man.
01:17 I just always say if you get the man with something, it's fine. You didn't get the man with anything because all you find him in the back there with everybody watching, all you searching.
01:26 It have a camera, CCTV camera right there at Clifton Street. Right now we are asking the commissioner to release that footage for us because we want to see the gun that all you get.
01:37 These witnesses say this move was strategic and planned by police to have Lee jailed for his birthday tomorrow.
01:46 They believe CCTV footage will bolster their claims that the man was wrongfully arrested.
01:52 All you went to the court Tuesday, all you take the man bail conditions to see what bail he under.
01:58 All you come and give him a gun case because all you know when you give him this gun case, he not getting no bail.
02:03 On Monday, Tyson was brought to his apartment where a search ensued.
02:08 They went upstairs with him. When they went upstairs with him, they pull on his DVR for the camera.
02:13 If all you come to do all the job, why should you all root out his camera?
02:17 This is not the first time.
02:19 This is the second gun that accuse him of that they never get.
02:24 They come down the fire escape to the back. They go through everybody window in the back.
02:28 The whole man not open. The police climbing through your window this morning and you not even in a place.
02:34 So it's like they targeting everybody in the area and keeping them like this.
02:39 One set of people living around here and it's only St. Babs police doing with us. Why?
02:45 During the melee, four persons were arrested, two men and two women.
02:51 Residents also claimed some of their personal effects when missing.
02:56 They taking people here. See, anything they kept free, they taking.
03:00 They gave money, they thief.
03:03 They taking people phone. They make people phone charge and they go with the people phone.
03:07 Other residents say what happened in St. Paul Street could not happen anywhere else in the country.
03:13 We are targeted, not we feel. We are targeted.
03:17 Because they always on St. Paul.
03:20 As a year short bus they running St. Paul Street.
03:23 For St. Paul Street is the baddest thing in town. Why?
03:28 Why only in go other places, tell the police and then stop interfering people who looking for innocent dollar
03:34 and taking the goods and crying it home and sharing it up.
03:38 Lee's relatives tell us they had previously lodged complaints at the police complaints authority regarding harassment about one year ago
03:47 but have since lost confidence in the PCA as they were never contacted nor visited after filing their complaint.
