Police on Wednesday night confirmed a shooting earlier in the day in Kew Town, Providenciales; saying they were alerted at 2:17pm about gunfire on Black Crow Road.  A resident of Kew Town, according to the statement, sought medical treatment and that woman is described as a 57-year-old ‘hit by a stray bullet.’

Following the ‘drive-by’ in Kew Town, Officers were given a description of the car shooters used to spray the area with bullets. And what followed was a coordinated response leading to the arrest of a 21 year old and a 28 year old; both men are residents of Five Cays.

Dean Holden, Police Superintendent said the arrest, which played out in plain view of bystanders on front road in Blue Hills is proof, say Police, that community safety is a priority and violence of this kind will not be tolerated.

The arrest, around 3pm, of the Five Cays men followed a shocking murder at Wymara resort around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday March 5, where three staff members were struck in a hail of bullets; one man – a 22 year old – appeared to be a target and was murdered on the scene.

The other two people injured in the incident were said to be “innocents”, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
