“The recently concluded St. Kitts Music Festival was a success from a public safety and security standpoint, with the event concluding without any major security incidents”

 

That’s the word from the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force.

 

Police Force said in a statement “the comprehensive security and traffic management plan implemented for the three-night festival achieved its primary objective of ensuring the safety of patrons, performers, residents, and visitors. Police officers, together with supporting security personnel and partner agencies, maintained a strong presence throughout the venue and surrounding areas, contributing to a safe and orderly environment.”

 

Although officers responded to a small number of minor incidents during the festival, these were effectively managed without any significant disruption to the event.

 

The incidents primarily consisted of a few minor skirmishes, some involving juveniles, who were escorted to the police station and released into the care of their parents or guardians. One report of robbery, which occurred after one of the shows, was also received and is currently under investigation.
