Sint Maarten Police Force (KPSM) Commends Community for Safe Causeway Jump-Up, Arrest Made During Event

The Sint Maarten Police Force (KPSM) extends its appreciation to the community and the Carnival organizing committee for their cooperation in ensuring a relatively safe and orderly Causeway Jump-Up, which took place on Saturday, March 15, 2025. The event proceeded with minimal incidents, reflecting the collective efforts of revelers, organizers, and law enforcement personnel.

 

During the course of the event, officers identified an individual for whom an arrest warrant had previously been issued in connection with an ongoing investigation into multiple armed robberies. Upon approaching the suspect, officers discovered that he was in possession of a firearm. The individual was immediately taken into custody and transported to the Philipsburg Police Station, where he remains detained pending further investigation.

 

In light of ongoing safety measures, KPSM wishes to remind the public that the wearing of masks during future Jump-Ups and similar events will not be permitted. This measure is in place to enhance security and ensure the safety of all participants.
