No official report as yet on police shooting of vehicle at Arnos Vale

Up to the time of going to press, the police were yet to release details on one of their operations that involved gunfire and sent people scampering over the weekend.

The incident which received traction on social media and local radio, happened around Massy Stores in Arnos Vale last Saturday, June 6, 2026 (around noon), when police officers opened fire on a vehicle with rental plates.

The person driving the vehicle, sources say a Union Island man, fled the scene but not before shots fired from a police firearm reportedly damaged parts of the vehicle including the rear windscreen. After the shooting, several shell casings were left in the area, and several people were left shaken by the incident.

The man driving the vehicle later turned himself in to the police after which he was charged in relation to a traffic offence, according to a source.

It is still not clear why the police fired on the vehicle, and no report on the matter has as yet been released through the Public Relations and Complaints Department of the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF).
