Cops make 3rd arrest in Hart case

(CNS): The police have arrested a 26-year-old man on suspicion of murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Earl Hart in Prospect earlier this month. A police spokesperson said that the man was arrested Wednesday afternoon, following a police operation in the Safehaven area and he is currently in police custody. This is the third arrest in connection with the gang-related killing, in which the 22-year-old was gunned down at his home when he opened the door to at least one gunman on the evening of 3 October.  Police also arrested a 31-year-old man and a 21-year-old man in the Bodden Town and Savannah areas on Wednesday 16 October. Both men were released a few days later but the 21-year-old remains on police bail.

Police were also believed to be involved in another operation in Lower Valley today, where at least one man was seen to be taken away by witnesses in handcuffs but so far no details have been released and police have not stated what this operation related to.
