St Vincent gov’t warns school students against engaging in criminal behaviour

KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, CMC – The St Vincent and the Grenadines government has issued a warning to school students who engage in public brawls and other criminal behaviour.

National Security Minister St Clair Leacock said disorderly students will face firm police action and that there will be no tolerance for street violence involving schoolchildren.

Leacock, who is also the Acting Prime Minister, told a church service marking the 118th anniversary of the St Vincent Grammar School on Monday that such behaviour would be treated as a matter for law enforcement, not just school discipline. He made reference to a recent viral video of schoolgirls fighting in the streets of the capital, Kingstown.
