Two Illegal Firearms Seized in Weekend Police Operations
The Sint Maarten Police Force (KPSM) continues to intensify its fight against criminal activity. Over the weekend, officers seized two illegal firearms and made three arrests in two separate cases. These operations underline KPSM’s zero-tolerance stance on crime and illegal weapons.
Suspect Caught Smuggling Drugs at Youth Facility
Early Monday morning, June 23, 2025, around 10:00 AM, officers apprehended a suspect at the Miss Lalie Center in Cay Bay. The individual, identified by the initials L.Y.L., was attempting to smuggle illegal drugs hidden inside a deodorant bottle.
Thanks to swift police action, the suspect was arrested on the spot and taken to the Philipsburg Police Station. He remains in custody, and investigators are continuing to build their case.
Stolen Vehicle Leads to Two More Arrests
Shortly after that incident, around 10:30 AM, a citizen approached officers with a tip. He reported seeing his stolen Hyundai H-1 pickup truck heading toward Philipsburg.
Police quickly mobilized and intercepted the vehicle on W.J.A. Nisbeth Road. Two men were inside. They were immediately arrested. Their initials are J.A.P.-E. and C.P.C. Both suspects were taken into custody and are being interrogated.
Firearms Seized During Routine Checks
Over the weekend, KPSM officers also seized two illegal firearms during regular patrols. These weapons were confiscated without incident. Police stress that anyone found in possession of an illegal firearm will face arrest and harsh consequences.
A Community Call to Action
Illegal guns continue to pose a serious threat to public safety. While KPSM remains committed to removing these weapons, they need the community’s eyes and ears.
