On Friday, October 27, 2023, various units from the Northern and Central Division of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force collaborated to conduct an operation in the North of the island. During the operation, law enforcement officials executed seven (7) Search warrants and apprehended eight individuals.

On completion of the search, Gaspar Paul and Justin La Compte were apprehended for Possession of Prohibited Component Parts of a Weapon. An execution of Search Warrants on the premises of Prince Nelson of La Bourne,
Monchy, Neillan Melius of Boguis and Lec Alphonse of Chassin, Babonneau, revealed nothing of evidential value, but they were all arrested on Commitment Warrants for failing to pay a court fine for firearm convictions stemming from 2021.
