National Security Minister Senator Dwight Nelson is seeking to assure the country that the security forces have adequate resources to deal with intimidatory tactics by criminals who are trying to destabilise the country.

In a statement, the National Security Minister said the police and military are alert and equipped to take on any challenge at this time. He made reference to Tuesday's alleged fire-bombing of a car belonging to youth activist Lawman Lynch and an attempted attack on the constituency office of Member of Parliament Joseph Hibbert. Senator Nelson warned that the security forces will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that law and order are maintained. He urged law-abiding citizens to contact the police if they see suspicious actions in their communities. At the same time, Senator Nelson called on the country to remain calm.
