More charges for duo in drug find

Two men who were recently arrested on charges of possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled drug have now been hit with an additional charge.

Police said the duo — Keanus Smart, 18 of Free Bottom and Khaleed Francis, 24 of Nottingham Estate — have both been charged with an additional offence of unlawful possession of explosives.

The men were already facing charges of unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply, unlawful possession of a controlled drug, and keeping an unlicensed firearm.

According to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force, the new charge is related to the discovery of ammunition during the initial vehicle interception.

Police said previously that they intercepted a suspicious vehicle after 11 pm on October 28 while on routine patrol in the Fat Hog’s Bay area.

A quantity of drugs was found after the vehicle was stopped and searched and the two male occupants were arrested on suspicion of possession. Police said the scene was revisited the following morning and a firearm was found in the nearby bushes.

The two men remain in custody until their appearance at the Magistrate’s Court.

    They behind the scene trying to control the narrative, trying control the conversation by controlling the blogs. They are a secret extension of this Govt. Keep our eyes open..This site is real.

    You are right. Many have been noticing that for years now. It appears more than just a news site.

    And, it is believed not an extension of government in any meaningful way, but of other outside and clandestine forces.

    But, what can we do? We are helpless to make any change from outside.

    There is too much money in the BVI, and there are some who are jealous of that.

    From historical times to present, they hold the view that Black people are not suppose to be in control of vast amounts of money.

    They think and behave as though it is their inherited entitled right to have control of all money, including that of this little country.

    Those are the types of persons and personalities we see on this site daily displaying the narratives we see…

    The take over is still in planning. Prepare for the second Gus of wind hurricane.
