A police spokesperson said that they are encouraged by the cooperation from members of the public that have refused to cower in fear and to take a stand against crime by providing information to the police or other assistance. There should be no safe sanctuary for those determined to cause harm to the peace and safety of our communities either from within or outside. Police have redeployed several resources, including cancellation of rest days to ensure heightened police presence and to staff up operations to target criminal elements, which will continue and the public should not be alarmed.
