PHILIPSBURG--Police warned Sunday that persons who are caught threatening officers will be punished.
Responding to verbal abuse of policemen by persons in Dutch Quarter on Saturday, police spokesman Inspector Ricardo Henson reminded that threats are serious.
He said officers had been threatened when they removed eight stolen cars that had been found in the bushes between Zorg en Rust and Union Farm (see related story). He said police couldn't tell who had been making threats.
Police plan to maintain their "Zero Tolerance" policy with regard to any type of threats or negative behaviour towards the police.
