This recovery stems from an incident that resulted in the death of one male from Marigot, Castries, and the subsequent arrest of five individuals.

Investigations at the crime scene led to the discovery and seizure of one .40 calibre pistol with a magazine containing seven rounds of ammunition and one spent shell.

“Consequently, the five (5) individuals who were onboard the vehicle; were arrested and subsequently charged for Possession of Ammunition and Possession of Firearm,” explained a police statement.
