Two Charged with Unlawful Possession of Firearm and Ammunition

In a targeted law enforcement operation, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Task Force of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has successfully intercepted an illegal weapon, leading to criminal charges against two individuals. The operation, conducted in the early hours of Monday, February 2, 2026, involved the execution of a search warrant at a property located in the All Saints area. Terry Williams and Shanyea Crump, both residents of Nut Grove, were subsequently taken into custody. The search yielded significant contraband: one Ruger 9mm pistol alongside seven corresponding rounds of ammunition. The seizure represents a proactive effort by authorities to curb the circulation of unlawful weapons within the community. Both accused parties have been formally charged with the separate counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Unlawful Possession of Ammunition. Their case is scheduled for a preliminary hearing before a magistrate on Thursday, February 5, 2026, marking the next step in the judicial process.
