Again where’s the CCTV
CCTV don’t do thing to Lucia criminals , man got shot in the center of town , there is enough cctv footage of all angles. Yet still the can’t catch anyone. You’ll say more boots on the ground in January but PM and Commisioner. December is a long ass month , no push back from the cops. I hate to go that route , will the chamber of commerce , the most powerful body on island , please help….. understood you’ll have mythical powers that can force people to change things……if not for us , the profits will be affected ain’t no way these kind of acts benefits the legal businesses on island. Mr. Guard I know it ruff but bro the patrols around island must step up for yesterday. I drive from castires to north every week day
The only type of police activity I see
Is if some getting police out riders. Mr. Guard they come from 3:30 pm usual but Xmas they working OT, sir why aren’t your officers coming out too…. The church, the judiciary . Where are the good men in this country😳. Evil prevails when good men do nothing…….To the PM your words bring joy to the criminal hearts , you not helping , shut the hell up……
I don’t understand why people who can’t formulate proper sentences comment on these articles.
Shots FIred !!!!!!
CCTV does help but not in all cases, one wouldn’t think of putting it in an isolated area where a vehicle passes once every hour, but there again that might just be where it’s needed. We all saw how effective it was in capturing the atrocity committed by the British national at Rodney Bay, much to the chagrin of some people, especially some of those commenting!
