Proposed Police Post In Salt Spring Set Ablaze
A building that had been earmarked and was being renovated for use as a police station in the community Salt Spring community of St. James, was reportedly set ablaze by unidentified persons at approximately 1:30 yesterday morning.
According to police reports, the arsonists used an old mattress and clothing to start a fire which damaged sections of the building. The premises had been acquired by the Ministry of National Security just a few weeks ago, and was earmarked for use as a police post, following a bloodbath in McGhee Top in Salt Spring, when gunmen went on a murderous spree, killing five men. National Security Minister, Dwight Nelson, had said the post would house a joint police/military contingent of no less than 40, and would be able to respond to citizen requests for assistance within a four-minute time span.
The work of the arsonists has not deterred the police however, as they have now fast tracked their plans to get the police post operational.
