A significant law enforcement operation in Nut Grove culminated in the arrest of five individuals and the seizure of a cache of illicit items, including ammunition and suspected stolen assets. The operation, which unfolded on the afternoon of December 23, 2025, began with the execution of a search warrant at a local residence. Authorities discovered a vehicle key, multiple currencies (Eastern Caribbean and U.S. dollars), a cellphone, and a set of license plates during the initial sweep. The scope of the investigation expanded to an adjacent plot of land, where officers uncovered a concealed black plastic container. This container held a firearm magazine, numerous rounds of ammunition, two snap caps, and gun oil. Additional evidence collected included clothing items and a black laptop. During personal searches, two units of gun oil were allegedly found on one of the suspects. Further compounding the findings, a blue automobile located on the premises was identified as likely stolen property. A subsequent inspection of a vehicle driven by one of the apprehended men yielded a magazine holster. The five suspects, all residents of Nut Grove, were taken into custody on allegations of robbery. All seized evidence, including the two vehicles, was transported to the St. John’s Police Station as authorities continue their investigative proceedings.
