POLICE CONCERNED ABOUT INCREASED NUMBER OF MISSING PERSONS

By

Published

The Police Administration is concerned about the increased number of missing persons cases reported to them over a short period.

The administration encourages families to at least inform someone of their plans to leave home or be away from home for an extended period. The public is also urged to report missing persons to the authorities in a more timely manner.

Recently, the police have received three separate reports of missing persons, including Keon Richards of Yorks. While the locations of two individuals were made known, Keon’s whereabouts remain unknown. He was last seen on Wednesday, February 26 at his workplace at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort.

His mother reported they last spoke with each other sometime on February 18. He is 6ft tall with a brown complexion and weighs approximately 200lbs.

The police are in the process of searching several areas utilizing all available resources with the hope of finding him.

    It takes one too many times for the police to start showing some serious concerns. We are dealing with lives here. Families are left restless at nights wondering where their loved one could be or what could happen to them.

    The police in Atigua are shit, they can’t even carry out an investigation or a search well, I repeat: we are a small population, these things can be easily avoided

    Hearing about these missing persons cases is so crazy I can’t imagine what Keon’s family is going through I really hope they find him safe and that the authorities continue to get the support they need in their search

    But I don’t understand what the police commissioner have to do with that. You seem to believe that the crime situation and missing petsons saga is isolated to.this country alone. I understand the hurt but what can the police do? Honestly? What can they do?

    This is indeed very disturbing. People I agree with the police always make sure someone know where youre going and who u will be with

    The police are concerned about the number of missing persons and citizens are concerned about the low solve rate of crime in Antigua. Please God let the next Police Commissioner be more capable than the current one. There is no way this level of criminality should go unresolved in this small place. People don’t just disappear, some tragedy must have befallen these poor souls and our police force is not equipped to do what needs to be done. We have police in Antigua that cannot even read properly. How can they be expected to stay ahead of clever and creative criminals in our society. In other news, what is happening with the unsolved cases Yennifer Bridge and Acazhia James? These girls were murdered and up to now we have not seen any charges laid! This is absolutely unacceptable. I pray to God that whatever happened to Orden and now this young man above comes to light because the fact that grown men can just vanish into thin air in 108 sq miles is more than disturbing.

    That’s one of the things of importance that needs to be revealed place last seen and time plus current picture of available.
