In its fight against armed robberies, the gendarmerie carried out a judicial operation on September 17 which led to the arrest of several perpetrators, one of whom was sentenced to prison by the Saint-Martin local court.
Tried immediately, the main perpetrator of the armed robberies was sentenced to five years in prison, one of which was suspended. "In conjunction with the Basse-Terre public prosecutor's office, any crime of this nature will be prosecuted so that the population feels safe," warns Lieutenant Colonel Hugues Loyez, commander of the Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy gendarmerie.
Since the beginning of the year, Saint-Martin has been facing a resurgence in armed robberies that the police intend to fight relentlessly. _AF
