BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE collaborations which the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force have been having with its sister agencies continue to yield fruit with one of the most-recent resulting in a firearm and ammunition being removed from the streets.
The Police Force issued a press release yesterday (Feb. 23) which informed that the gun was found during a search operation.
“A combined search operation by the Special Services Unit (SSU), the Anti-Drug Unit and the St. Kitts and Nevis Defence Force has resulted in the seizure of a .40mm pistol and a magazine with matching .40mm ammunition.”
The communique informed that the search operation took place in the Ottley’s Village area yesterday at about 6:30 in the evening where a group of young men were stopped and searched.
