Armed Robbers Beg for Lives on TikTok Live in Jamaica

Four armed men dramatically surrendered on TikTok Live after a botched robbery and intense shootout with police at a supermarket in Spalding, Clarendon, Jamaica, on Sunday. The standoff ended with the seizure of four firearms, including an AK-47 assault rifle.

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) reported that police intercepted the gang during a robbery attempt. This led to a gunfight that left one officer and two of the suspects injured. The gunmen then barricaded themselves inside the supermarket, prompting a tense standoff with law enforcement.

The suspects used TikTok Live to broadcast their surrender, pleading for their lives in front of a live audience.

The JCF confirmed that the suspects will face criminal charges.

The condition of the injured officer has not been disclosed.
