In a significant crackdown on crime, the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) executed a coordinated early-morning operation in the Odsan community on October 31, resulting in multiple arrests and the seizure of illegal drugs and a firearm. The operation, spearheaded by the Gangs, Narcotics, and Firearms Unit (GNF) with tactical assistance from the Special Services Unit (SSU), commenced at approximately 4 a.m. and focused on two residences under search warrants. At the first location, authorities uncovered substantial quantities of crack cocaine, cannabis, and cannabis resin. Vivian D’Auvergne and Devon Stanio, occupants of the residence, along with Marva Dorville, were apprehended on charges related to possession of controlled substances and intent to supply. Notably, D’Auvergne was already wanted by the Choiseul Police for serious firearm-related offenses connected to an incident on July 12, 2025, in Victoria, Choiseul. These charges include using a firearm with intent, possession of a firearm, and discharging a firearm in a public place. At a second residence in Odsan, officers recovered a Taurus G2 nine-millimetre semi-automatic pistol and ten rounds of 9mm ammunition. Kenan Fergus, Richie Glasgow, and Brianna Pierrelouis were arrested for possession of the firearm and ammunition. All six suspects were processed at the Centralised Community Safety Centre, where the seized items were also secured. The group appeared before the First District Court on November 3. Stanio, D’Auvergne, and Dorville were each granted bail of $11,000 cash or suitable surety and are set to reappear in court on December 11, 2025. Fergus, Glasgow, and Pierrelouis, facing firearm and ammunition charges, were granted $35,000 bail each and are also due back in court on the same date.
