Philipsburg:--- Two young St. Maarten men were arrested early Saturday morning when they were caught with two handguns in their vehicle. The suspects identified as J.R. (21) and A.J. (24) were arrested after police were tipped off that that the two men were in possession of the weapons and sitting in their vehicle next to the parking area of Déjà vu Night Club. Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson said police were told that the two men were in a white car parked next to the night club.

Henson said when the suspects saw police the driver stepped out of the vehicle and attempted to walk away while the other man remained in the car. Police ordered the driver to stand still and they ordered the second man to get out of the vehicle. The officers then proceeded to search the vehicle and they found a Glock .45 caliber pistol and a revolver INA NAC (Brazil) .35 caliber. Police immediately arrested the two men upon finding the weapons which they confiscated.
Police also found a small plastic bag containing marijuana which they confiscated.
The two suspects were taken to the Philipsburg Police Station for processing and it was discovered that an arrest warrant was out for J.R. who is suspected of being involved in an armed robbery.

Great! Again after being tipped off!

More guns out of the wrong hands again!

One question: with all the weapons confiscated lately, were there any from the batch stolen from the harbor?

Congrats to the person who tipped off the authorities and also the cops who made the arrests. But I am not too fond of the headline "Two more guns taken off the streets". Almost like saying 2 more knives taken off the streets. If someone want to commit a crime with a gun, they will find one. What need to be done is to make sure those guys stay in jail longer. Keep them off the streets. No sooner they are out they have guns again.

Good men in blue. Once again it is proven if the community works with the autorities the team work between them meaning police and the community can fight crime. We need each other. Wise move by the one who tip off othe police. Those same guns could have been use to hurt or even kill someone father, mother, brother, sister or even some other family member. Tonight we can all sleep a little better knowing that those two guns or off of our street. People of sxm let's works with our local police force. Let's us not only look at when they make a mistake. The system will take care of it's self. Many thanks to that tip giver. You might have safe a life. Big up to you and also the police who acted and arrested these wanna be gangster.
