POND ISLAND:--- Minister of Justice Cornelius de Weever commends the Sint Maarten Police Force as well as other law enforcement entities with respect to the apprehension of two men who were classified as armed and very dangerous.

“The apprehension of dangerous criminals is a very positive development for the community. It means two less dangerous persons in our communities. I commend our community for speaking out and working with our law enforcement entities which is very important.
“Fighting crime is not just an effort of law enforcement, but an entire effort of the community, and this leads to results,” Minister of Justice Cornelius de Weever said on Monday.
