Various activities took place in Carnival Village on Saba this past week, culminating in parades in The Bottom on Saturday and Sunday.

While the week was generally calm, a few individuals were addressed for their behaviour and drinking from glass bottles. The police also had to address a local es­tablishment in The Bottom for selling beverages in glass bottles.

The Jouvert Morning parade in the early hours of Satur­day, July 20, ran without major incidents. Still, a 26-year­old woman was arrested on Thais Hill Road for assault after a fight broke out in the middle of the parade.

There were no significant issues during the carnival pa­rades on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. To ensure the safety of all attendees, all drivers in the parade were given breathalyser tests for alcohol consumption at the begin­ning and midway through the parade. All drivers passed with negative results.

The central dispatch received a report of a fight on Park Lane Street around 1:35am Monday, July 22, with ambu­lance personnel requesting police assistance. On arrival, the officers were insulted by a man who was then arrested for verbal assault. A woman who obstructed the arrest and also insulted the officers was subsequently arrested. Overall, it was a smooth Carnival week on Saba. The Caribbean Netherlands Police Force KPCN thanked ev­eryone for their contributions and emphasised that we all share the responsibility for maintaining a safe island.
