| Police Get 16th
Illegal Weapon Off The Street |
|
|

Police have taken 16 illegal guns off
the Federation's streets so far this year and pledge
to continue their efforts in this regard.
On Tuesday evening (Apr. 27) police recovered one .38
revolver with three rounds of matching ammunition at
the latest homicide scene. The very next day another
weapon was taken into custody when members of the St.
Kitts and Nevis Defense Force found one .38 revolver
with three rounds of matching ammunition while on an
operation at White's Mountain in the Cayon area.
Early Thursday morning police found one .22 revolver
and three rounds of matching ammunition in an abandoned
building in the Irish Town area. These weapons and ammunition
will be made available for further analysis if necessary.
The police have attributed their success in this critical
area largely to assistance from the general public,
and have publicly thanked them.
Minister of National Security Hon. Sam Condor said crime
fighting could not be successful without the collaborative
effort of the entire nation. He commended those members
of the public who have given information to police that
have resulted in arrests and the recovery of illegal
weapons.
"There must be collaboration between the community
and the police, but it must be initiated by the police
with the encouragement and support of the community.
That is happening now, which is why we were able to
get 16 guns off the street; through the help and assistance
of the community."
