Around 12:00 on July 31st 2025, officers of the Sint Maarten Police
Force (KPSM) responded to a report of a disturbance on Tassel Road
involving a young male suspect.
Upon arrival, officers encountered the landlord of an apartment
complex who reported that a male individual had broken a window and
made serious threats. Based on the information received, officers
launched an investigation and were informed that the suspect may be
carrying a firearm.
While being searched officers discovered a black-colored firearm in his
bag. The suspect, with initials D.P-C., was immediately arrested and transported to the Philipsburg
Police Station, where he remains in custody for further questioning.
KPSM continues to warn the public about the possession of illegal firearms and the danger they pose
to the safety and well-being of our communities.
