Police Charge Gros Islet Man With Possession Of Air Pistol

On Friday, August 25, 2023, about 2:30 a.m, the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force conducted a search operation in the Gros-Islet community.

The purpose of this operation was to act on intelligence, to combat a spate of robberies and other incidence that has plagued the town of Gros-Islet.

Police Officers obtained and executed a Warrant to Search for property on the premises of twenty-two (22) year-old Allan Henry, also known as “AJ,” of St. John   Street, Gros-Islet.

During the search, Officers discovered and seized one air pistol. An air pistol is a type of air gun that uses compressed air to shoot projectiles.
