24-yr-old charged for illegal firearm
Officers of the Major Crime Team have charged a 24-year-old man who was found with an illegal firearm while police executed a search warrant at his home in the Greenland community of East End on October 14.
The police said the firearm was loaded.
The man, Dajshon Benjamin is to appear in court Thursday, October 15 to face the
charge.
As investigations are continuing into the matter, the police said it is likely others will be prosecuted in relation to the same weapon.
In the meantime, Commissioner of Police Michael Matthews said the recent arrests in firearm-related offences are because of the hard work and tenacity of his officers.
“These officers push through many hours, well beyond most of us, to bring about these arrests without public fanfare or applause. Very few will understand or appreciate the patience and diligence required. I know what it requires and will consistently give them the praise and support they are due. They deserve it,” the Commissioner said.

And the Belongers commit no crime. It’s the down islanders and the whites
You are such an idiot. A belonger can be white or somebody from anywhere on earth. There are more belongers that were born in other Caribbean Islands than any other group of people. Fahie alone gave over 1,000 of those belongership in 2019 through the fast track.
@GTFOH Sarcasm. Have you ever heard of it? smh
You have issues.
Thus a spooky case
Someone please tell me that he is from here, lawd don’t send me to sleep unhappy.
Stay unhappy locals have not a thing to do with how you feel inside
You see the issue right there . Too much deep seated hate and jealousy. Everybody jumping on each other . The blame game is killing the country
24 year old caught with a Gun. This is the kind of issue parents would wish loud mouth community activists Sin D would be talking about. But she never does. Instead she’s find a way to say he’s young and don’t know better. You’ll don’t seen NOT ONCE the host of C** D**P never talked about what’s actually killing our community? She’s a bad example. Then again “ hands feeling better even trigger happy” maybe he was holding the gun until her hands get better???
Thank you RVIPF for getting another gun off of our streets! Keep up the good works and stay safe while you work to keep us safe.
