Authorities in St. Kitts have ramped up their efforts to solve a recent robbery in the Newtown area, which occurred in the early hours of November 1, 2025. The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force reported that the incident took place between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. near George and Douglas Streets. A masked individual, armed with a firearm, confronted Ronnie Barriteau of Bird Rock, demanding his valuables. Barriteau complied, and the suspect fled on foot. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID), supported by the Special Services Unit (SSU), has since detained a male suspect to aid in the ongoing investigation. In a related development, police have arrested and charged three individuals from Tabernacle Village with obstruction. Vernette Carey, Kimoya Laws, and Ishen French, all residents of Tabernacle Village, were formally charged at the Basseterre Police Station on November 2, 2025, in connection with an incident on September 26, 2025, along Johnson Road, Tabernacle.
