Police seek aggressive scooter rider and passenger Dutch St Maarten

Police seek aggressive scooter rider and passenger, sternly warn against violence and disruptive behavior on country’s streets https://www.stmaarten.news

Police are calling on the public to help identify a scooter rider and his passenger who were caught on camera assaulting a fellow road user on Union Road in Cole Bay. The video of the attack has been widely circulated via social media and messaging apps. https://www.stmaartennews.org

Police appeal to the public to help identify these two individuals by giving information that can lead to their arrests so they can be held accountable for their actions.

The level of road rage displayed in the video is troubling as well as very worrisome to police as it should also be to the community. This kind of behavior should not be condoned, covered up or allowed to further fester in the community. This very un-St. Maarten-like behavior is destructive to this island’s image as “the Friendly Island”. https://www.sxmgovernment.com

The community should also be cognizant that this now viral video showing the type of behavior as seen in this latest video and others prior to it also have an economic impact. St. Maarten can easily go from being known as a friendly safe place to one where visitors could opt not to visit due to the way residents are perceived to treat each other. https://www.sxmpolice.wordpress.com

This warning comes as police have noted an uptick in road rage, reckless driving, and disruptive behavior on the roads. These behaviors are more and more displayed by scooter riders and vehicle drivers, to the extreme of physical attacks for simple road incidents.

Police strongly warn and discourage reckless behavior in traffic as this can only cause accidents and possible injuries to others on the road.

KPSM will intensified traffic controls and will continue these in the coming weeks to curb irresponsible and dangerous behaviors on the road. Anyone caught will face the legal consequences of their actions.

Anyone with any information about the latest road rage and assault incident or any others is encouraged to call the Police Force on: + 1 721 542 2222, tip line 9300 or emergency 911.

Suspected human smuggler in Sint Maarten has had his pre-trial detention extended by sixty days as of Monday

Suspected human smuggler in Sint Maarten has had his pre-trial detention extended by sixty days as of Monday

Firearm and false documents confiscated Cole Bay raid St Maarten

E.B.L. is suspected of smuggling a group of migrants by boat from St. Maarten with destination the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) under the cover of night in a Sint Maarten-registered boat. This is not the suspected human smuggler’s first incident. He has already been convicted twice for human smuggling.

St Maarten Breaking News https://www.stmaartennews.org

On the French side of the island, E.B.L. was convicted to three years’ imprisonment for human smuggling in 2019. This sentence pertained to an incident in 2013 in which a number of people died by drowning en route from the French side of the island to USVI/BVI.

Latest government updates https://www.sxmgovernment.com

Human smuggling is providing people with assistance and transport for the purpose of smuggling them over a border. Human smugglers take advantage of migrants’ desperation, charging them huge sums of money to smuggle them out of or into Sint Maarten or other Caribbean islands. Migrants’ lives and health are often put at risk in the process.

ORIGINAL SXM NEWS https://www.stmaarten.news

Human smuggling is not only transporting people across the border, but also assisting them with staying in a country without the proper resident papers and includes housing them, giving them a job etc. while knowing they are not documented to be in the country.

Human smuggling is not the same as human trafficking, though they do occur in combination. Here are two important differences: In the case of human smuggling, migrants consciously choose to deal with a smuggler. They do not know whether the smuggler will treat them badly. In the case of human trafficking, people are forced to work or to perform sexual or other acts. The aim of human trafficking is to exploit people. People smuggling always involves the transport of migrants over the border to another country. But human trafficking can also take place within a country’s borders without (prior) movement over a border.

The search stemmed from an ongoing criminal investigation in which officers became aware that residents of a Cole Bay residence were allegedly in possession of firearms and other illegal items. The search yielded the firearm and forged documents among other items.

Traffic controls by officers in the area of Cole-bay, Cupe-coy and Simpson-bay St Maarten

Traffic controls by officers in the area of Cole-bay, Cupe-coy and Simpson-bay. https://www.stmaartennews.org

Over the weekend the St. Maarten police were busy conducting regular traffic controls throughout the areas of Cole Bay, Simpson bay and Cope-Coy, to ensure a high level of traffic safety.

During the controls that were held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the following results were achieved:
In all, 42 vehicles were stopped and controlled.
14 fines were issued for a range of offences.

There was one suspect arrested by the patrol in connection with an incident at the Richmond drive in Cole-bay. The suspect was later turned over to immigration for failure to provide a valid residence permit.

KPSM will be continuously carrying out these controls, due to the fact that some road
users are not respecting nor obeying traffic regulations of Sint Maarten. Their behavior have
become a nuisance to the community and, more important, it endangers the lives of others.
