WILLEMSTAD - Last weekend a video was distributed via social media in which four boys in a car waved with firearm-like objects. These images have caused much commotion in the community. After a short while it turned out that two of the boys were already detained for possession of firearms.
The other two boys featured in this video with firearms reported to the police station yesterday evening. They are minors and were locked up last night and released today after questioning. It has been established that the video concerns older images.
The Public Prosecution Service appealed to the Curaçaoan population to help track down both unknown boys. This has considerably accelerated the arrest of both people. The OM wants to provide more information but it is their policy to be cautious about providing information with regard to underage suspects.
The police are still investigating the case. Once that is completed, the Public Prosecution Service will make a decision about the settlement. Because of the social outrage and the help of the public, there is now clarity about the identity of all four involved, the age of the film and appropriate measures can be taken in the future.
