Minister Weeks On Shooting Incident
“This was a heinous and cowardly act of violence directed at our police officers last night,” Minister of National Security Michael Weeks said.
Minister Weeks said, “We are grateful that no one was hurt during this dangerous incident. This is a threat to law and order, and we must all do our part to bring the culprits to justice.
“This kind of criminal behaviour has no place in our society, and we will not tolerate attacks on those who are committed to keeping our communities safe.
“I urge anyone with information about this incident to come forward and assist the authorities by speaking to the police or contacting Crimestoppers at 800-8477. Together, we can ensure justice is served.”
In a previous statement the police said, ““Shortly after 12am on Saturday 24th of August 2024 police were responding to an incident in the vicinity of Khyber Pass, Warwick.
“As the officers approached the junction with Quarry Lane, the officers observed two males riding a motorcycle in a southerly direction along Khyber Pass, when the passenger discharged a firearm at police.
“Officers began pursuit which eventually lead to shots being fired. The suspects made good their escape.
“Witnesses are being asked to contact Detective Chief Inspector Derricka Burns on 2471062 or 7170921.”
