Gendarmes seize cache of weapons, ammunition

MARIGOT--A raid carried out by Gendarmes at a house in French Quarter on Wednesday, November 16, turned up a stockpile of weapons and ammunition, disclosed the Gendarmerie Thursday.

Among the weapons discovered were a pump gun, 9mm handgun, an automatic weapon, rifle, a silencer, a bullet-proof vest and 520 rounds of ammunition. One person, suspected of being the owner of the weapons, was detained for questioning.

The Gendarmerie also revealed three persons have been arrested and transferred to Guadeloupe in connection with the two armed robbery attempts in Lowtown, Marigot, on June 11.

At the time, two individuals entered a Change Express and attempted to gain access to the cashier by shooting a bullet through the glass security door. After not being able to penetrate the security glass and enter the back office, the thieves left empty-handed and proceeded to rob the till money from a Chinese supermarket further down the road.

During the following weeks detectives identified one of the suspects, who was arrested and transferred to Guadeloupe. Then on Monday, November 21, an operation was mounted to arrest two more suspects in their respective homes in Sandy Ground.

The two individuals aged 21 and 22 years are now in detention in Guadeloupe awaiting trial.
