  1. The government should get solar powered streetlight with camera combination out of china to replace all existing streetlights system and help the police and government solve crimes.

  2. When I go to Antigua I will carry bullet proof vest, if it is lawful to do so. I hereby request information pertaining to the carrying of bullet proof vest, pepper spray, etcetera. Please write an article about this someone, preferably, the Attorney General and or Commissioner of Police.

  3. “Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information that could assist the investigation to contact the police or Crimestoppers”
