IT’S BLOCK VERSUS BLOCK, and bad-man versus bad-man perpetuating gun violence on the streets of Barbados.
And according to Acting Commissioner of Police, Tyrone Griffith, plenty of Barbadians in villages and communities have vital information about people involved in drug trafficking and gun-running, but refuse to help lawmen end the shootings which have become widespread in recent months.
In the last few weeks, a number of shootings have occurred in Barbados, with four in as many days between June 1 and June 5.
“Generally speaking, members of the public assist the police in Barbados, but when it comes to guns, we have intelligence which indicates a lot of information is in the public domain that is not being brought to the police. Every instance of gunplay we would like to get to the bottom of. It is in their own interest to help us,” Griffith told the SUNDAY SUN. (BA)
