SINT MAARTEN (COLE BAY) - The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) arrested two male suspects on Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, following a coordinated operation at an apartment on Welfare Road in Cole Bay.
The operation was initiated after KPSM received multiple reports from community members indicating that narcotics were being sold from the residence and that the suspects were allegedly in possession of firearms.
In response to this credible information, KPSM organized a coordinated plan involving several e departments to safely address the situation in accordance with Sint Maarten's narcotics and firearms laws.

Forensic and detective personnel were dispatched to the scene to process evidence and conduct further investigation. The narcotics and cash were confiscated.
Both male suspects were arrested and transported to the police station, where they remain in custody pending further investigation.
