Police have arrested and charged 40-year-old Gemini Browne of Perry Bay for unlawful possession of crack/cocaine following a targeted operation in the Grays Green community.

During the operation on Thursday, officers intercepted Browne and discovered 0.7 grams of crack/cocaine in his possession. He was taken into custody and formally charged. Investigations into the matter are ongoing.

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda continues to step up targeted operations aimed at disrupting illegal drug activity and improving public safety across communities.

Authorities are urging members of the public to assist law enforcement by providing information on illegal activities, either directly to the Criminal Investigations Department or anonymously through Crimestoppers.

    If people know who’s selling drugs in their communities, they should speak up. Silence only protects criminals.

    Drug activity has been an open secret in some areas for years. Enforcement must be consistent.

    Addiction is a disease… I hope the authorities and his family can support him through this.

    0.7 grams? Hope the same energy is used to go after the big dealers, not just the small fish.

    Community cooperation is key, but people also need to feel safe enough to give information.

    How much is that worth on the streets?
