Police make 4 arrests after joint action day in West Bay
(CNS): On Wednesday, 26 March, the Community Policing Unit, local police officers, Customs and Border Control, the Public Lands Commission and the Department of Agriculture carried out an interagency Day of Action in West Bay. The day started with officers attending the John A Cumber Primary School to assist RCIPS Community Safety Officer Cindi Welcome, with serving breakfast to the students, which the police described as a great opportunity for the students to meet and get to know their local police officers.
Officers then carried out a number of wanted person searches across the district, which resulted in the arrest of two men: a 21-year-old on suspicion of theft, and a 27-year-old for obtaining property by deception.
During one of the searches at a home in the district, officers identified what appeared to be a ganja plant, which was recovered for disposal. As a result of search activities, on the following day, Thursday, 27 March, two more men were arrested: a 36-year old for default of payment, and a 43-year-old for failure to appear.
The officers then visited Seven Mile Public Beach, where CBC officers with K9 support carried out an extensive search of the area and found an undisclosed stash of ganja prepared for sale and hidden under a bin. The police took this for forensic analysis.
Meanwhile, traffic cops on Batabano Road and Esterly Tibbets Highway doled out four tickets for various driving offences, while officers patrolled hot spot areas within the community known for criminal activity, providing police visibility and meeting with community members.
West Bay Police officers thanked the community for their support and the feedback received during the Day of Action. They encouraged people to get in touch with local officers if they have any concerns regarding criminal activity that they would like to discuss or report.

They found their missing breathalyzers yet? Tested John John?
I love how half a day of work is publicized here. What a joke. Get out and do your jobs. Linford bypass every morning from 6 to when traffic backs up is a race track. You could dole out 50 tickets in 1 hour.
4 arrests and four tickets?!?
A double crewed car should be achieving this on every shift never mind the entirety of the RCIPS Community Policing Unit, local police officers, Customs and Border Control, the Public Lands Commission and the Department of Agriculture.
Whoops! Missed the singular Ganja plant!
How kind of them to show up to work. Perhaps one day they might consider doing their job full time, instead of just the few times a year during major holidays and for a few months every 4 years during immediately before elections?
Vendors shouldn’t be allowed on SMB. Its so ghetto & overwhelming out there I avoid it at all costs.
Once again for those that did not hear me before – CLEAR PUBLIC BEACH !! Give it back to the people.
“doled out four tickets for various driving offences” Is that a f***** joke? Four? I get overtaken on the bypass every morning and afternoon by four cars a second going 20mph+ over the speed limit. A truly useless police farce.
Every day is joint day in West.
Mac has had 40 years to clean out West Bay, and all he’s done is set the worst example of devious criminal behavior as a way of life.
West bay clean out starts with getting rid of Mac.
