PRESS RELEASE ON INCIDENTS AT OUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS

The Ministry of Immigration and Border Services is cognizant of the various incidents of unruly conduct, breeches of restricted zones, obstruction of authorized personnel and overall non-compliance of protocols that occurred at our international airports within recent days. Two of which occurred at the Providenciales International Airport and the other at the JAGS International Airport, Grand Turk. During all of these incidents Officers of the RTC Police Department were called for assistance.

While all incidents, are currently under active investigations, hand-in-hand, with all of our law enforcement agencies, Hon Arlington Musgrove, Minister responsible for Air and Sea Ports, in commenting stated: "we take the National Security of our country very serious and will take all steps necessary, to ensure that it is not compromised.  So be assured that these matters will be thoroughly investigated, and all concerned will be dealt with accordingly.

The safety of our residents and visitors alike is of paramount importance to my government and myself, so this sort of behaviour has no place in our society."

Investigations into these matters, which seem to be isolated, are ongoing and the public will be informed as they progress.
