A participant who attended the ‘A’ Division police stakeholders meeting, hosted by Commander Marlon Chapman last Tuesday, had highlighted the situation, saying that persons has been visiting the gas station in the afternoon hours to consume alcohol and smoke. He had said when they were approached by staff of the facility about their behaviour and the fact that smoking was prohibited on the site, they subjected staff to abuse. In one instance, the participant said a member of the staff had a gun pulled on him and it was noted too that Low was forced to close down his business for a couple of days due to the situation.
