A local non-profit organisation has welcomed the Government’s recent passage of anti-gang legislation aimed at tackling crime and violence.

Founder of the Tyrese Caesar Foundation, Jacqueline Caesar, says she is pleased that legislation is being considered as one of the measures to help curb gun violence on the island.

Speaking during the foundation’s annual 5K Walk and Run, Ms Caesar noted that while stronger laws can play an important role in addressing the issue, they should form part of a broader approach.
