The person of interest was captured early this morning In the Buckley’s area. The gentleman has been placed in quarantine. More details will be provided later.
On Tuesday 11 May at about 10:30 am, the Police received information about a fishing vessel landing at Lime Kiln Bay and an individual with a suitcase alighting the vessel and running off into the Lime Kiln/Village area. The Coast Guard and several Police and Defence Units responded and found the abandoned vessel on the beach. The surrounding area was searched but no one was found. The vessel was taken into custody by the St. Kitts-Nevis Coast Guard.
Our investigation so far has revealed that the vessel was stolen in Antigua the night before. This has led us to believe that the individual possibly came from Antigua. We are well aware of the COVID-19 situation in Antigua, with respect to community spread. This has raised concern for us as we do not know the COVID-19 status of this person who has now integrated into our society.
We want to assure you, however, that we are vigorously pursuing all leads to find this individual. We ask for your assistance in this regard, anyone having information about who this person is or his whereabouts is asked to call the Police Hotline 707 or 911 and give the information anonymously if you wish.
