Police Spokesman Johan Janchi Leonard said several persons have been trying to trick and abuse the system by sending other persons to transact their business with a power of attorney. The police spokesman said anyone who intends to approach the department has to prove the actual resident who is looking to retrieve their monies has already left the island. He said the law clearly states that anyone wishing to leave St. Maarten permanently has to transact their own affairs at the immigration department prior to leaving the island.
