The Police Administration is expressing gratitude to the public for the overwhelming support and assistance received in the ongoing investigation into the homicide of Chantel Crump.
The cohesiveness of each community, along with the prompt responses from law enforcement, has significantly contributed to the progress made in the case.
The administration also wishes to refute claims circulating on certain social media platforms suggesting that a specific individual is solely responsible for this success. In reality, it has been the involvement of residents across Antigua and Barbuda who have come together to support both Chantel’s family and the police. It is disingenuous for any single person to take credit for this collective effort, especially in such a sensitive matter.
The police kindly ask the public to respect the grieving process of Chantel’s family and assure everyone that they are committed to working with them to ensure justice is served and closure is achieved. Residents are reminded that the investigation is still ongoing, and they should refrain from making public remarks that could hinder its progress. Anyone with additional information is asked to get in contact with the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or call the Crimestoppers anonymous hotline at 800-8477.
Meanwhile, the police are reporting that almost one million dollars’ worth of cannabis was seized at V.C. Bird International Airport on Tuesday.
A joint drug operation between the police and customs officials resulted in the seizure of 119 vacuum-sealed packages of cannabis at the airport cargo shed. The controlled substance is valued at $708,000 and weighs 118 pounds. The shipment was taken to the police station for further investigations.
