SINT MAARTEN (GREAT BAY) - The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) wishes to inform the public that on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, a 28-year-old male with the initials R.S. was arrested in connection with serious threats made against police officers and the safety and security of Sint Maarten.
The arrest followed threatening statements made by the suspect, including posts circulated on social media in which he expressed his intention to shoot police officers one by one. The suspect also threatened to take matters into his own hands and made statements about blowing up the country.
KPSM views these threats with the utmost seriousness. Threats of violence against law enforcement officers, public institutions, or the wider community are unacceptable and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Threats of violence are not a solution. They are criminal matters that can carry serious and lasting consequences.
This investigation is still ongoing and no further details will be shared at this time.
