Two dozen police search UPP candidate’s business and office

Michael Burton
(Press Release)
While crime in Antigua and Barbuda continues to spiral out of control, late last night, 26 armed police in 8 cars were dispatched to the business place and branch office of Michael Burton, the UPP Candidate for St. John’s City south.
The police claimed they were searching for “guns, ammo and drugs”, and predictably found nothing.
During the search an attempt was made to access Burton’s computer at the branch office.
It is no coincidence that this political terrorism is being unleashed by Attorney General, Mr. Benjamin who Burton is opposing in the City South race.
This blatant deplorable action further underscores the UPP’s existing demands for Benjamin’s resignation from all ministerial portfolios.

  1. All these years the man is running a business in Antigua and has never been harassed until now he’s running for political office.
    How come dem nar search the Syrians and Chinese an dem? Black man can’t even get ahead in his own country.

  2. Remember it is your responsibility as an agent of the press to remain non-partisan. Your colors are showing. #BleedBlue

  3. Why they don’t go and get Colin O Neil who knows about my brother death and live the man along , party is very dark and stink

  4. Cutie Benjamin and Damien Benjamin.Those two are wicked individuals! Their offices should be searched!!!! VERY BADMINDED

    • Why you people always want to tie people together. Miss Candace Williams I do not know you and I am not a politician. I am the son of the AG, that’s about it. Simple, keep the political rancour to those who are in politics. Me and Mr. Burton have been friends for over 20 years. I would not wish no ill on him nor family so don’t mix me with your as they say passa passa

      • I call it how I see it. You’re a wicked and evil alien. They need to search your office. I’ve heard about your “side business” and all the thugs you have hanging around your “law office” HA!

    • digital info of illegal transactions. u gi me a sensable reason why police search a computer? to allow cuty to win? u sound so dumb. maybe politically blind. so if his branch office was located at another location police would go there u saying instead? stop ah u nonesense. i support no party no do i vote but i hate political bias people to chat them bull.

  9. Sometimes it’s more about how something looks than what it is. This does not look good and they had to know it would not sit well with people.
    This just looks spiteful.
    It’s not just what you (think you) know, you better be able to prove it as well. Can you prove there was justification for this?

  11. criminals on the loose in the police force murderers on the loose y harass a law abiding citizens. …..this country is so corrupt the ag needs to go ….and people if u vote for the alp you are also corrupt. ……a party that is looking out for them selves. ..Minister want security contracts, want to be paid on the side ask baka making people front for u is also corruption

  12. Two dozen officers dispatched? No wonder crime so rampant in this country. The police are chasing their shadows. With all these unsolved crimes in Antigua and Barbuda is this the best use of the resources of the state ?

  13. Thank you to the person who put up that observer link maybe all the noise makers will hush the man is not a saint

  14. 28 armed police officers???? If this is not intimidation I don’t know what is. Cutie worried that Burton have the Jamaican and Dominican vote in city south lock down so he trying to pull a George Walter on Burton. Have him lock up on made up charges until election done. Cutie and the commissioner must resign.

  15. Michael Burton is an upstanding law abiding citizen. A lot of people get charged for crimes including forging passports, drug possession or money laundering. However it is the court to decide innocence or guilt. Has Burton been found guilty of drug possession? Political terrorism that’s what it is.
    How they not searching Casroy house.

  16. Kelroy me want you stop using assumed name and be a real man. You see how political and big boast you are. I can’t wait to see the back of ALP cause you gonna have to run from Antigua cause hunger and sufferation gonna get the best of you cause you can’t and won’t get a job under DNA OR UPP.

  17. Remember one minister who signed one dead Antiguan man birth paper, saying it was the true picture of a Jamaican man and caused a woman to spend time in jail And was not brought in to be questioned because he is the commissioner’s mentor.. Time will tell.
