According to a press release from the Gendarmerie, the driver refused to obey the orders of the Gendarmes when they tried to stop him. The Gendarmes managed to stop the man later and they arrested him. Preliminary investigations show that the vehicle was stolen on the Dutch side of the island on April 28th. At the time, the vehicle had no license plates.
The Gendarmes also arrested two persons ages 16 and 18 who are suspected of robbing a business establishment in Marigot on April 22nd. The investigators also found two toy guns which it is believed were used in the robbery. The two suspects have been summoned to appear in court at a later date.
