Earlier today, between 03:30 and 04:30 hrs, Police ranks conducted a cordon and search exercise in the Guyhoc Squatting Area, where several houses and persons were searched for stolen properties, illegal firearms, narcotics and wanted persons.

However, based on information received, a search was conducted at the home of Kristoff Nicholson, a 29-year-old Labourer and Condoleezza Henry, a 19-year-old female St. Lucia national, both residing at Guyhoc Squatting Area who are wanted for a Robbery Under Arms/Attempted Murder committed on Claudius Fraser, a 69-year-old Operations Manager at Caliber Security Service.

During the search, one .32 revolver, one live .32 ammunition and one .32 spent shell were found in a speaker box in the house.

Condoleezza Henry was asked if she had a license to carry the firearm, and she said ‘no’. She was then told of the offences committed, arrested and cautioned. She was escorted to the East LaPenitence Police Station, along with the firearm, ammunition and spent shell.

Henry is presently in custody, and efforts are being made to locate Nicholson.

Investigations are in progress.
