REAL NEWS –  Amidst the fact that two teenagers were found with a loaded gun in St. John’s, in the early hours of Tuesday, August 1, the Police are issuing a stern warning to individuals not to carry any form of weapons, especially during the Carnival events.

The police say that revellers and those persons planning to attend the various shows should refrain from carrying weapons to any of the venues.

The lawmen warn that anyone found in possession of an offensive weapon will be arrested, charged, and taken before the court.

An assurance is being given to the general public that the police administration will be maximizing all its available resources to ensure the safety and security of every citizen and visitor to this country.

Therefore, the Police are calling on everyone to lend full support and cooperation, as they continue in their efforts to maintain law and order.

Meanwhile, as Carnival is now in full swing with a show every night at Carnival City, officers are appealing to vendors to stop serving drinks in bottles and cans for the remainder of the season.

These items can be used as weapons in the event of a dispute and innocent bystanders can be hurt, they note.

Additionally, those persons attending the shows and events with children and elderly relatives in their care should pay close attention to them at all times, the police say.

Every effort must be made to keep them safe from potential threat or harm, since every year there are numerous announcements of missing children, the authorities state.

  1. Missing children that always turn up a few days after getting what they ran away for …I mean come on …this story makes it seem like we have ppl here kidnapping children an they are never found ….. most of these missing kids are females above 13 years old committing in adult acts …and run away so they can avoid parental control …I’m not satisfied with the way this article is put

  2. It is a shame that the police services had to issue stern warnings to individuals with criminal inclinations. Antigua’s Carnivals were once happy, safe and enjoyable events.

    I am not a great fan of the police services, but on this occasion, I fully support their zero tolerance stance towards those reckless individuals who are inspired to wreck our country’s peace and stability.

    Hopefully the police zero tolerance will continue after the annual celebrations and the Ministry responsible for the police services will provide them with the necessary resources, including comfortable working
    environments fit for the 21st Century.

    Young teenagers will always want to have fun, including exploring sexual liaisons, and for those of us who are older have done the same thing.

    It is right to put the burden on parents to to take control over the movements of their young people; albeit a difficult challenge, but nonetheless, police time should not be wasted trying to locate a young person who decided to go astray from the compounds of the Cathedral!
