Charlestown, Nevis (September 25, 2026)
Two Canadian nationals residing at Colquhoun’s Estate, Nevis, have been charged in connection with a cache of firearms and ammunition discovered at the property in July.
The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force identified the individuals as Robyn Kasha and Kevin Look, who were each charged at the Cotton Ground Police Station on September 22, 2026.
Both face four charges: Importation of Firearms, Importation of Ammunition, Possession of Firearms and Possession of Ammunition.
The matter dates back to July 9, when police responded to reports of weapons and ammunition inside a 40-foot shipping container outside a private residence at Colquhoun’s Estate.
According to the RSCNPF, the container had been shipped from Canada and contained personal belongings belonging to the homeowner. A search by officers from the Customs Enforcement Department in Nevis uncovered 15 firearms, including rifles, pistols and revolvers, along with more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition of various calibres.
The items were secured and handed over to the RSCNPF for forensic analysis and further investigation.
At a July 23, 2026 press conference, Deputy Commissioner of Police Cromwell Henry provided further details about the circumstances surrounding the shipment.
Henry explained that the firearm owners had submitted an application by email before the shipment left Canada. The application included a request for an import permit, a detailed inventory of the firearms and their serial numbers, copies of Canadian firearm licences and passport information.
However, the application had not been processed before the shipment arrived in Nevis.
“Somehow we missed it among the list of emails that we got,” Henry explained. “It was leading up to the music festivals, so we had quite an influx of emails and were not able to process that application before the weapons arrived.”
Henry also said the firearms had been declared to Customs before the container was opened, a factor he described as significant to the investigation.
“Because there was an attempt to notify us, we could not prove that they intended to smuggle them in,” he said. “Smuggling requires an intent to evade the authorities, and we could not establish that when they had already provided a list of the firearms and declared them to Customs.”
