Minister: We Will Be Banning Dark Visors
During last night’s [May 5] Town Hall meeting on crime Minister of National Security Wayne Perinchief said that dark visors on helmets will be banned.
As locals are aware, it is not unusual to hear of a crime committed by suspect[s] wearing a dark visor.
Minister Perinchief said, “The public have called out and said listen, many of these offences have committed by people riding bikes with darkened visors or obscured faceplates.”
