RSCNPF & SKNDF APPREHEND JAMAICAN FUGITIVES IN JOINTOPERATIONS
The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF), in collaboration with the St. Kitts-Nevis Defence Force (SKNDF), has successfully apprehended two fugitives wanted
in Jamaica in connection with serious violent offences.
Kemar Matthews and Chevone Brown were apprehended in St. Kitts during two separate joint operations conducted by officers of both agencies on May 18th and 20th, 2026. Both individuals are wanted by Jamaican authorities on charges of murder and wounding with intent. By 1 PM on Wednesday, May 21st, 2026, both men had been repatriated to Jamaica.
The RSCNPF reaffirms its unwavering commitment to public safety and to its role as a
responsible partner in regional security. The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis is not, and
will not be, a haven for individuals seeking to evade justice for serious criminal offences
committed elsewhere. Through sustained intelligence-sharing and inter-agency
collaboration, the Force will continue to take all necessary action to uphold the security
of the Federation and support the broader regional security architecture.
The Force commends the officers of both the RSCNPF and the SKNDF for their
professionalism and swift execution of these operations.
