The Royal Barbados Police Force is up to the task and committed to solving gun crimes.
And in the wake of two young men, 23-year-old Renaldo “Conan” Gittens and 21-year-old Rico “Sad Face” Burgess of Eastpoint, St Philip being gunned down at Marley Vale, St Philip on Tuesday night, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Erwin Boyce, is urging Barbadians not to get too worked up about the current situation.
We are on top of the situation in terms of the investigation process. And, yes, we want to assure the public that they will be free of crime, but at the same time there is no need to panic.
Responding to a query as to whether the force could match the high-powered weapons out on the streets and allegedly used by the perpetrators, Boyce said the police will not be engaged in “shooting games”. (YB)
