FRENCH QUARTER–A man on a scooter who refused to comply with a stop order at a control checkpoint on January 2 was arrested by Gendarmes and found to be carrying a Glock-type handgun which was immediately seized.
Appearing immediately in court in Marigot on January 5, the individual was sentenced to two years in prison with a committal order. The proceedings were conducted under the direction of the Basse Terre Prosecutor’s Office.
The Gendarmerie remains fully mobilised to combat illegal possession of weapons and ensure everyone’s safety.
