A 21-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl are in police custody in connection with the seizure of three guns and nearly 200 rounds of ammunition on Tuesday.
The two were held, and the illegal items seized, during a targeted operation in Bois Patat, Castries, involving officers attached to the Gang, Narcotics, and Firearms Unit, the Special Services Unit, and the Special Operations Team of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF).
According to the RSLPF, when a search warrant was executed at a house in Bois Patat, officers recovered a Glock 25 .380 pistol, a blue Uzi firearm, and a 9×19 509 9mm pistol, along with 177 rounds of .380 ammunition, 14 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and five rounds of .40 ammunition.
A quantity of cannabis was also found.
Authorities have not yet disclosed what charges the two females in custody may face.

Great job lawmen, great job! Keep the pressure on. Now, go focus on the biggers. Y’all know them.
Them girls don’t need no chargers just free them officer u kno them girls innocent
Yawn! Yawn! The major will be on bail before you say, “bwapeh”
Dey released a feller dere from prison after spending a little over a year in prison. An ex-convict who was arrested with an illegal gun while on bail. He was given bail again; and amazingly the cops caught him with another illegal gun. The system is a big joke. The cops are busting their you know what and putting themselves at serious risk. So much for zero tolerance. This place is where your nightmares are realized.
Good work officers, lock them up and throw away the key……. sorry I forgot this is St Lucia. They will just get bail.
Innocent
You’ll hiding for hit man , say who is own and send them up ……no mercy… get the owner of the house too. Because them bullets can be used to kill me or my family, it’s time we take the gloves off so the next will be deterred from holding or hiding any weapons for anyone…..
This is brilliant… officer keep the pressure on… the law has to change to accommodate babies as well.. reason being… as much as the infant will be innocent the parents can take jail. let’s move forward… forward motion
Name and shame them online…show their pics…….you know that is more damaging and effective than a little bail. You cannot fight crime in modern times with old laws.
PJP THE COPS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB. PLEASE GIVE THEM WHAT THEY ARE ADKING FOR.
Well if the two females don’t want to disclose who the guns, ammunition and cannabis really belong to, lock them up for obstructing justice.
Lock them up (the life you save may be your own) let us be honest only God knows the carnage this could have caused had it not been for intervention – these women made choices and choices have SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AND COULD SOMETIMES BE FATAL FOR SELF AND FAMILY – most of the young women in St. Lucia are looking for material and they will do anything to live a life of luxury (even risking their life and their family) – what a crying shame. When you play with fire you will get burn and that’s the reality.
