Police are urging persons who utilize social media platforms to do so with caution following the arrest of a 26 year-old male on Tuesday.

Police officials responded to a recent social media posting where a man was shown with an infant posing with illegal firearms and drugs.

The suspect was arrested shortly after 11 p.m. on Tuesday for questioning in reference to firearm possession and dangerous drugs.

Police initiated the investigation after several photos depicting the man with a child posing with handguns and a quantity of suspected marijuana were publicly posted on various social media websites.

Officials are issuing a stern warning to social media users who break the law that they will be tracked down and dealt with robustly according to the law.

Police are utilizing all resources to ensure that criminals who continue to be engaged in criminal activities are arrested and brought to justice.

However, the police cannot do it alone and are urging members of the public who may have relevant information regarding any criminal offence or information regarding anyone who may be in possession of illegal firearms to immediately to come forward.
