REAL NEWS: The Police picked up a group of minors in St. John’s in the early hours of Tuesday, October 31, as officers were conducting mobile patrol duties.
A source says that, during the sweep of the city and its outskirts – in areas such as Villa, The Point, Fort Road, Ottos, and other residential locations – several other people were also stopped and searched in an effort to prevent criminal activity.
As officers continued their patrol, they spotted four minors, travelling together on two bicycles, at about 3:30 a.m., on All Saints Road, in the vicinity of Special Security Services.
The officers reportedly stopped them and asked why they were on the road at that hour of the morning, and they could not give a reasonable explanation.
As a result, they were taken to the St. John’s Police Station and detained, but they were later released into the custody of their guardians after they were contacted.
It was noted that the bicycles were without a light, as is mandated by law.
Later that morning, at about 4:20 a.m., another minor was seen on St. Mary Street in the vicinity of Roti King.
This time, it was a female, and she was asked to give a reason for being on the road at that hour.
She, too, was unable to give a reasonable explanation.
Therefore, she was detained and taken to the station.
Her parents were contacted and she was later released into their custody.
The Police have contacted the Youth Intervention Centre and notified the authorities of both incidents.

How as a parent you don’t know where your minors are? I don’t get this!
@Hmm, I was asking the same question, then you gonna release them in the hands of these same SAD parents.
Job well done but this should be done more often.
Yes! For Proactive Policing. Give them the tools and, pay incentives: Three eight hours shift tour rotation in twenty-four hours. Forty hours work week, with overtime pay per shift for extra duty worked, schedule or none schedule: after forty hours per two week pay cycle, and, two personal days off per week; plus, mandatory accrued vacation and, a minimum of three days sick leave, with a doctor’s certification. No barracks cops in “night close” precinct beds. Cultivate a first responders mentality across the rank and file of the Police command; to enhance active policing, and, engage cognitive psychological aptitude assessment for firearms carry for all active Officers: on and off duty. Damn it! Security Guards are more well armed and, visibly active than Police Officers. Recruit more indigenously as the impetus for a vital, modern-day Police Department. And, yes! stop with the foreign “Rats” guarding Cheese mentality. Law & Order must prevail, for society to reap the benefits of it’s collective toil, and, be peacefully prosperous.
**Relief for a vibrant, effective Civilian Complaints Review Department, with autonomy of relief from Central Governance.
