By Aaron Humes: San Ignacio resident Khader Habet’s house has been searched as many as thirteen times. Habet claims that he is being harassed by police in the Twin Towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena.
Over the past few months, police have increased operations to target known criminals in the communities and according to the Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams, officers have been hard at work to reduce crime so criminals and those who abet them will have to get used to the Police being in their faces all the time.
Habet’s recent complaints in the press, the Commissioner said on Monday, left out a critical detail: “[Habet] is in this area where police operations in the past and even recently had led to the discovery of large number of drugs and a number of firearms hidden in the lot right beside him. We know how most of these people in the criminal world operates because they know the police is going to be targeting them and coming to their homes to search. They’re not going to hide these items in their yard or in their homes. They would hide it next door so that if the police finds it, they will not be able to tie it to them. Our intelligence have told us many things where he is concerned and he is a person of interest to us in that area. And so the police are going to continue to go to him. If it feels like going to the media and complaint is going to have the police back down from him, that is not going to happen.”
The Commissioner further reminded that the recent crime spate in the Twin Towns hurt businesses and personal safety and so the police there have been directed specifically to remedy this issue.
