Gangs operating in the La Horquetta district are warned by the Head of the Northern Division, that they will not escape the TTPS.

The warning follows three murders in the area on the weekend.

18-year-old Keylon Joseph and twenty-four year old Akill Mc Williams were gunned down on Saturday.

Yesterday, Senior Superintendent Kerwin Francis said, the La Horquetta district has been very peaceful and has seen a reduction in crime over the past year.

However, he said gangs appear to be rearing their heads again.

As such the senior officer said, police patrols would be ramped up with a special focus on gangs in the area.

Sen Supt Francis told gang members and their leaders they are not welcomed in the area.

He said, law and order would be maintained in his district and anyone seeking to do otherwise will be dealt with.
