Put their pictures in the papers. People need to know who these criminals are.
Having a gun make u a criminal 🗣️💩
So u have a gun and that makes u what I wonder if the table turn n it’s one of your relatives would you feel the same way chupz
Get Y’all News Fucking Straight!!! Always with the bullshit
Twins?
Mr. Commissioner have you paraded these two before persons who faced break-ins or armed robberies lately, to see if they could identify them via their height, build, walk or even their voice in order to solve some of the recent crimes? Like yall just happy to apply a fine to fatten this wasteful Government’s coffers rather than doing what taxpayers money pay you for.
they’re two hard working people, they don’t interfere with people and operate a legal business so go parade your stinking fingers under some soap and water.
Sometimes y’all need to be quiet and let people do their jobs.. obviously the guns were tested and they were no crimes committed! Also the individual did not have a criminal record , this would have been their first.
Sometimes y’all need to be quiet and let people do their jobs!.. Obviously the guns were tested and no crimes were committed hence the reason for the time and fines that were given! Also this would have been the person’s first record🤦♀️
not twins, but brothers, and is not everyone with a gun is a criminal 😒
This story is inaccurate
They are brothers 13 years apart…
These persons that are cursing in the comments sections must be the family and friends of these men.The consequences should have been a much longer JAIL TIME.
maybe one of your family members has an illegal gun.
No crimes were committed with the gun and this would have been this person’s first record.. they did their investigation and made their agreement and that’s it
Having an illegal gun should carry stiffer penalties. Who knows what they do with these illegal firearms. How did they come by these illegal firearms and ammunition?Are they for hire? Can these firearms be tested ballistically to ascertain whether they were used in any criminal activities? Does the police headquarters have a register of all the legal guns and ammunition in Antigua and Barbuda? Do they monitor the uses of these firearms? Do they require a report for how, where and when ammunition are used? Antigua and Barbuda needs more rigid gun control laws, and anyone found with illegal firearms should be fined no less than $50k and serve no less than 2 years in prison. And anyone who uses an illegal gun to commit a crime should be fined $100k and serve 2 years in prison. Without paying the fine they must serve 10 years behind bars.
With a case like this I’m pretty sure they did their investigation and the firearms were tested and no crime was committed.
