BASSETERRE, St. Kitts July 23, 2024 - The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF), and St. Kitts-Nevis Defense Force in collaboration with Officers of His Majesty’s Prison, conducted a comprehensive search operation at His Majesty's Prison (HMP) on July 23, 2024. This initiative was part of our ongoing efforts to maintain order and security within the correctional facility.
The operation resulted in the recovery of five (5) cell phones, nineteen (19) chargers, three (3) charger heads, one (1) extension cord, eleven (11) cigarette lighters, one (1) razor, one (1) Gameboy, one (1) iron file, one (1) pair of scissors, screwdrivers, several shanks, a quantity of cannabis and tobacco and seven (7) bottles of homemade wine and other contraband items. These prohibited items within the prison posed a significant threat to the safety and security of inmates and staff. The recovered items have been confiscated, and appropriate measures are being taken to prevent future occurrences.
