St. Maarten Private Eye

acording to www.sxmislandtime.com police arested a wanted man just 4 hours after his mug shots were published in the papers, and, more interestingly, police also detained 17 suspects who are jamaican nationals in raids TARGETING places where thy're known to congregate:

I don't recall police using similar tactics before, i.e. going where potential suspects are likely to hang out, rather than cruising around the island and waiting for a "lucky" tip what leads them directly to the suspect. I'm not an expert in police matters and not a fan of frmr. NYC Mayor Giuliani, but the tactics of sending police to the areas where crime is statistically high, and where suspects are likely to congregate reduced NYC violent crime by over 70%, and I think that this is the best tactics to use to fight recent crime wave in SXM.

I wonder if these raids are just a random thing or they're done on the orders of the new acting police commish. Dongor (did I spell his name right?)
If this is the tactics that will be frequently used by the new police commish - i applaud him. Old methods have not been bringing good results, it's about time someone would use new methods of policing. With the limited police resourses, going where the suspects are known to congregate is the best (maybe the only) method to clean up the place!
