A Jamaican national who was wanted by police in St. Kitts and Nevis has been arrested after being repatriated from Antigua.
The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force confirmed that 44-year-old Rohan Mullings was taken into custody on Sunday, July 5, shortly after arriving at the RLB International Airport.
Police said Mullings was arrested following his repatriation from Antigua and expressed appreciation to members of the public and the relevant authorities in Antigua for their assistance in bringing the matter to a successful conclusion.
“We extend our gratitude to members of the public, as well as the relevant authorities in Antigua, for their cooperation and assistance in this matter,” the force said in a statement.
Mullings, who resides in Pond’s Pasture, St. Kitts, had been the subject of a wanted bulletin issued in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation. Although investigators did not disclose the offence under investigation, they confirmed that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.
Authorities had previously indicated that Mullings was believed to be in Antigua, prompting local law enforcement to seek the public’s assistance in locating him. Members of the public were urged not to approach him but instead report any information to the police.
The cross-border cooperation ultimately led to Mullings’ repatriation and his arrest upon arrival in St. Kitts.
So how is it we didn’t even know the man was living amongst us far less for him being repatriated
How many more wanted criminals from other Caribbean islands are living amongst us here in Antigua and Barbuda? Our borders are not secure enough, especially at our water entrances. We are expecting to receive more criminal deportees from America in a few days. Our law enforcement in Antigua and Barbuda better be ready and equipped for these deportees.
