The accused was apprehended on Thursday in the Clare Hall area and taken into custody. He is scheduled to appear in court to respond to the charges.

The police are actively pursuing their investigations and are urging anyone with further information to reach out to the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913, or to call Crimestoppers anonymously at 800-TIPS (8477).

The Police Administration is dedicated to safeguarding the well-being of all citizens and visitors, and will persist in taking the necessary steps to hold those responsible for criminal activities accountable.

    Clare Hall again… community leaders need to step up and guide these youths. We don’t often hear from the representatives of the community

    Parents, schools, government, we all have a role. Crime won’t stop unless we invest in our youth properly.

    Remember that Charity begins at home. The community has a part to play but we must start from the beginning. Ask ourselves fundamental questions. 1. What type of family unit does the child had?
    2. Single parent family without a strong person leading?
    3. Financial situation?
    Having look at those situation then we can looked to the Community and see what help can be afforded.

    At 17, this could have been a time for school and opportunities, not crime.

    These teenagers have no respect for people and their belongings no care for the consequences because they know they’ll be granted bail.A serious example need to be set
