Make sure his interrogation is thorough and effective. These gangs are part of an orchestrated plot to destabilize and destroy this country for their own benefit. Where are all these guns coming from and/or who is/are the supplier(s)/distributor(s)? Is it the same source that is responsible for the scores (if not hundreds) of non nationals that have suddenly appeared in our midst. There is a fast-food shop set up in every nook and cranny in Antigua. These people monopolize and dominate the tire/tyre industry. Then we have the next set, close allies of the first set, who seem to drop from the skies and in an instant it’s another restaurant, supermarket of retail shop! Is the Labour department aware of this new development that seems as sudden as the invasion of gun totting criminals to our shores. Already, Antiguans and Barbudans are paying a very high price for living in the land of our birth.
