On Saturday 9th November 2019 the RAPF received a request for assistance from the Saint Christopher and Nevis Police Force regarding a wanted person who was possibly in Anguilla. Acting promptly on the information received, the Crime Intelligence Department was able to locate the individual. Subsequently, a team of officers from the Criminal Investigations Department went to the location on the 12th November 2019 and apprehended the accused. With the assistance of the Immigration Department, the accused was served with a removal order on 14th November 2019 and deported back to St Christopher Nevis to stand trial for the offences of Attempted Murder and Armed Robbery. Officers from the Royal Saint Christopher and Nevis Police Force travelled to Anguilla and escorted the accused back to St Kitts where he will stand trial.
In commenting on this latest success in the apprehension of this wanted person, Commissioner of Police Mr. Paul Morrison stated that “It is very important the relationships we have developed with our regional partners over the past few years are upheld. We are aware that criminals often exploit national boundaries in their endeavors to commit or evade serious crimes or justice. This is a positive example of local and cross border networking, to capture perpetrators of serious crimes so that they can be brought to justice for illegal acts.
