Jail them rhen place a life-ban on them. We have more than enough homegrown criminals here! It’s time to clean up the country. Let them take with them their fellow countrymen criminals. Crime in St. Vincent and Trinidad has reached epic proportions. Persons from these two territories, particularly, and those from Jamaica, and Santo Domingo who are not gainfully employed need to be kicked out immediately.
Good job police—get dem guns off the street!
Where all these guns really coming from though?
Is one ting to seize the gun—now find out who bringing dem in.
Thankful no one get hurt during the operation. Safety first!
Sometimes me wonder how much more out there still hiding.
At least them a find what dem a look fah
If the police search their home and found an illegal firearm and several rounds of ammunition, how comes they were arrested on suspicion of an illegal firearm and several rounds of ammunition . Are you telling me that the police don’t know what a firearm and ammunition look like ? Why say on (suspicion of firearm and ammunition). It’s no longer suspicion, the police have the gun snd ammunition. Bad reporting.
