With the increased number of criminal activities over the past several weeks, Top Cop Severin Moncherry has promised to go after those who break the law.
The top cop made this disclosure on Tuesday stating that in addition to the recent double homicides in Vieux Fort, there have also been reports of burglaries and the attempted rape of a senior citizen.
“We are working feverishly to see if we can bring a stop to that,” Moncherry said.
The top cop said the Force has been going after persons with illegal firearms and will continue in that vigorous campaign to ensure that there is less violence on the streets.
Again, Moncherry spoke about the porous borders which makes it easy for illegal guns and ammunition to enter the island but said the police will do all it can to ensure this is lessened.
Saint Lucia’s homicide toll climbed to 19, when Kimran Jameson,26, died while receiving treatment following a drive-by shooting Black Stars gap at Morne Du Don, Castries.
