San Pedro Cops Got Three Guns
posted (December 13, 2019)
San Pedro Special Branch took 3 guns off the streets of the Island town in a single operation. Not many details of the operation are known - other than the fact that they got two nine millimeters pistols and one 38, and arrested five men. We'll know more when they go to court.

When we spoke to Police commissioner Williams, earlier today, he told us effective policing starts at the top of the island formation.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I will first and foremost commend the good work of the officer commanding San Pedro, Superintendent Noble. Since he went out to San Pedro we have seen a significant change in terms of the crime situation. Every week they are on it, doing operations going after the criminals. I am pleased to say that this week alone they have taken six firearms off the streets; two 9mm; two 380; one 38 and one 45 pistol. For those firearms, five of them arrests have been made for and one was a found property. So, again, it continues to show the good work that the officer and his team are doing in ensuring that crime on the island is kept, not crime free, but kept crime at a minimal or acceptable rate."
