Joint operations lead to confiscation of Sig Sauer pistol

By: Staff Reporter, SKNVibes.com
    CHARLESTOWN, Nevis, June 15.2018 – LAW enforcement officials removed one 9mm Sig Sauer pistol with matching rounds after a joint search operation on Tuesday (June 12).
     
    Assisted by ranks of the St. Kitts-Nevis Defence Force, police executed a search warrant on premises in Clay Ghaut. During the search, the weapon and ammunition were found on a resident of said premises. The weapon and the individual were subsequently taken into Police custody.
     
    Police said another person who was present at the time of the search was also taken into custody but was later discharged.
     
    Inspector James Stephen, Head of the Nevis Task Force, said the search conducted on Tuesday was in relation to a series of robberies that occurred on the island and the recent homicide. He also said that several operations were currently being conducted, noting that there are more to come.
     
    “Robust patrols have been stepped up. The Police are also seeking out several persons of interest that have been identified. We want to assure the public that we are doing all that we can to make Nevis a safe and tranquil place to live, work and do business. We are still soliciting the help of the community and any information received will remain anonymous," Inspector Stephen added.
     
    The police, with the assistance of other security agencies and the public, have removed fourteen (14) firearms from the streets of the Federation, police said.
     
    Just recently, in the Chicken Stone area, police removed one firearm after they responded to a shooting incident.

    Upon turning up at a yard in the Clay Ghaut area, police found the lifeless body of Jamie Chapman with what appeared to be a gunshot wound. During their investigation, the lawmen found a firearm laying near to the body.
