Let the police call time on these criminal activities plaguing this ya small island. Meet force with more force – and then more force!
The criminal underclass have declared that violence and robberies are their calling cards. So hearing that our police men and women are tackling these ‘scum buckets’ head-on, pleases many honest hardworking Antiguans.
Three cheers for the police. Hip, hip …
