In a targeted anti-narcotics operation, the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has formally charged 40-year-old Perry Bay resident Gemini Browne with unlawful possession of controlled substances. The arrest occurred on Thursday following strategic police interventions in the Grays Green area, where law enforcement officials intercepted Browne and discovered 0.7 grams of crack cocaine in his possession.
The charges stem from an ongoing initiative to combat illicit drug activities across local communities. Police authorities have confirmed that Browne was taken into custody and processed according to standard judicial procedures. Investigations remain active as law enforcement continues to pursue related leads.
This arrest forms part of the Royal Police Force’s broader campaign to enhance public safety and disrupt drug distribution networks throughout Antigua and Barbuda. Officials have reiterated their commitment to sustained operations targeting narcotics trafficking and associated criminal behavior.
The police administration has called for increased public cooperation in these efforts, urging community members to report suspicious activities through official channels including the Criminal Investigations Department and the anonymous Crimestoppers tip line. This collaborative approach aims to strengthen community-police relations while addressing drug-related crimes more effectively.
