BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Friday 26th June 2020) — Individuals found guilty of housing Haitian nationals who reportedly entered the island illegally via Keys Village this week might be charged. So informed Commissioner of Police Hilroy Brandy while appearing on a live media programme aired on ZIZ radio and television on Tuesday 23rd June 2020.
“From our investigation and interview, we are learning that they arrived in Keys on Sunday 21st June 2020 and were in different areas in Keys which our officers are still investigating. There is likelihood that there might be charges brought against persons who are harbouring these persons in their homes and not reporting these matters to authorities,” he stated.
COP Brandy added: “There were fifteen persons who entered into our shores at Keys on Sunday. From our investigations, those persons came out of Dominica by boat and dropped off at Keys. This is not the first time; this is not the second time that this is happening and we’re working to see that there does not be a recurrence of this matter.” Chief Medical Officer Dr. Hazel Laws confirmed that the individuals were being tested for COVID-19.
