Police Request Public Assistance in Tracing Two Missing Brothers
The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) is seeking the public’s assistance in locating two brothers who recently traveled from Antigua to Sint Maarten.
The brothers, identified as Brabely Anthonio Esteves -Vasquez and Francisco Antonio Esteves -Vasquez arrived safely on Sint Maarten a few days ago. However, based on information received from family members, it is believed that they have since left the island under circumstances that remain unclear. The brothers have not contacted their family since their departure, raising concern for their well-being. Both brothers are nationals of Antigua & Barbuda
KPSM urges anyone who may have seen or spoken with the brothers, or who may have any information about their movements or whereabouts, to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Philipsburg Police Station at +1 (721) 542-2222 or call the anonymous tip line at 9300.
The Police Force of Sint Maarten appreciates the public’s cooperation in this matter
Second Serious Traffic Collision at Traffic Lights in Two Weeks – Police Urge Compliance with Traffic Laws
The Traffic Department of the Sint Maarten Police Force (KPSM) is currently investigating a serious traffic accident that took place on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, around 9:00 PM. The accident took place at the intersection of W. Nisbeth Road, Longwall Road, Bush Road, and A. Th. Illidge Road.
It involved motorcycles and a scooter without license plate being a black Yamaha N Max and a white Yamaha XT 125.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of the Yamaha N Max, traveling on A. Th. Illidge Road in the direction of Longwall Road, ran a red traffic light. At the same time, the driver of the Yamaha XT 125, who was driving on Longwall Road with a green light, was making a left turn toward the Prins Bernhard Bridge. The Yamaha N Max collided head-on with the Yamaha XT 125.
Both riders sustained injuries from the impact of the collision. They were treated at the scene by EMS personnel and later transported to the Sint Maarten Medical Center for further medical treatment. Both were admitted to the hospital.
This is the second serious accident at this same intersection in the past two weeks in which drivers sustained serious injuries. KPSM strongly urges all road users to adhere strictly to traffic laws, especially when it comes to obeying traffic signals. Running a red light puts not only yourself but also other road users at serious risk.
Police Continue Process of Handling Confiscated Scooters – Owners Urged to Take Action
The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) continues to deal with a significant number of scooters that have been confiscated due to the lack of proper documentation or technical deficiencies, making them unfit for use on public roads.
As stated in previous press releases, KPSM continues to urge the owners of these scooters to come forward and retrieve their vehicles. While the message may sound repetitive, it is an essential part of the legal and administrative process.
According to established procedures, police are required to provide all reasonable opportunities for the rightful owners to reclaim their confiscated vehicles before any further action, such as disposal can be taken. Failure to retrieve the scooters within the designated timeframe may result in the vehicles being permanently removed from police custody.
KPSM once again calls on all individuals whose scooters may have been confiscated to visit the Philipsburg Police Station with the necessary documentation to initiate the retrieval process.
The Police Force thanks the public for its cooperation and continues to emphasize the importance of maintaining road safety and abiding by the law.
