Boys shooting pellet guns at random people in GT
(CNS): The police said that last weekend, they received several reports of a group of between two and ten boys, believed to be between twelve and 15 years old, approaching members of the public and firing shots at them with what appears to be a pellet gun or gel blaster. While no one has been injured in these incidents, they have caused fear and alarm to members of the community, police said.
The RCIPS is advising the boys who have engaged in this activity to desist at once. Parents, especially parents of juveniles in possession of this type of toy, are advised to speak to their children about the negative consequences that such activities can have.
The police are investigating the incidents, which occurred on the evenings of Friday and Saturday, 2 and 3 August, between 8:00pm and about 10:00pm, in George Town in the vicinity of Newport Avenue, Keturah Street, Hope Drive and Paxton Street.

I recall when paintball guns were legal and we had organised paint ball games. It was a lot of fun. Some unruly kids started doing the same thing, and the next we knew was paintball guns were classed as firearms. Much easier to ban the whole thing than deal with a few stupidly raised kids.
I bet they will learn if they try that on the wrong person and get a bullet in return.
Find them, tie them up, tar and feather them, and give them a dose of what they’ve been doing to others!
Police need to deal with children riding around neighborhoods stealing things from people yards especially in the Prospect Area sick of seeing them checking park cars obviously grownups are behind them realising they are not going to be sent to prison as juveniles that’s what the minister should be doing in her constituency
I hope it’s not one that is riding up and down on Mangrove Drive Prospect checking to see if house doors and car doors are open to steal toys guns to use to rob people. This place is gone Cayman ?
I thought pellet guns were illegal.
10 year minimum for all of them.
WTF is wrong with people…SMH
Can Offreg not ban these for the protection of consumers?
