    There is a report that, due to recent frequent reports of Prisoner escapes and suspected Prison officers colluding with Prisoners dealing with contraband, yesterday, April 30th, 2025, a surprise operation comprised of the Police Interventions Unit PIUs, the Anti-crime, State Intelligence Services SIS, and Police Intelligence searched Prison officers and the entire garrison to combat corruption within the prison service. The operation led to a gridlock of traffic along the main highway.

    An insider at the prison services said the operations started around 15:00 and lasted until 17:00, catching the entire prisoner population and service by surprise and leading to some prison officers found with suspected keys, knives, and unauthorised weapons being and contrabands detained. It’s suspected the special task force had intelligence of an ongoing prison break underway, which forced them to strike promptly.

    BRAVO TO THE SECURITY TASKFORCE!
