Crackdown on offensive weapons

Police are getting tough with people who are found in public places with weapons, which could be deemed harmful to others.

Word of this from Crime Prevention Officer of the Barbados Police Service, Inspector Stephen Griffith, who says this has become a serious concern for lawmen in recent time.

He notes that the law clearly states it is illegal to have items such as knives and other offensive weapons in your possession while in public, and police will be ensuring anyone caught with such weapons face the law courts.
