The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) wants to make the community aware of a serious
incident that took place on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 — the theft of a firearm belonging to
one of KPSM officers.
According to preliminary findings, an unknown suspect broke into the officer’s personal
vehicle, parked in the Cole-bay area, searched through it, and made off with the officer’s
legally owned firearm.
Given the gravity of this situation, KPSM has launched a full-scale investigation, bringing
together the Detective Department, and other internal and external judicial partners. KPSM
is leaving no stone unturned in our effort to recover the stolen weapon, identify those
responsible, and ensure they face justice.
We want to be clear: an illegally possessed firearm in the wrong hands is a direct threat to
everyone in our community. Getting this weapon off the streets is one of our highest
priorities right now.
