Eleuthera, Bahamas - A 29 – year old American man is in custody in connection with a recent shooting incident that occurred at Current Island, Eleuthera.

According to reports, shortly after 1:30pm today’s police in Eleuthera acting on intelligence went to a bushy area at Current Island, where they arrested the suspect in connection with a shooting that has left a man detained in hospital on Tuesday 30th December 2014. The victim was later airlifted to hospital in New Providence, where he remains in serious condition.

POLICE are appealing to anyone with information regarding any crime, no matter how small or insignificant (the tip) may seem, to anonymously call Police at 919 or CRIME STOPPERS at 328-TIPS (8477) (New Providence) or 1-242-300-8476 (Family Islands)

WEEKLY PREVENTION CRIME TIP - REDUCING VIOLENCE

• Look for ways to settle arguments and disagreements without violence. Remember: if you resort to
violence to settle disputes, a child may well follow your example. Be a good role model.
• Use good manners to help ease tensions that can lead to violence. Teach kids that showing respect
for themselves and for the needs of others can prevent crime.
• Report crimes and suspicious activities to police; agree to testify when necessary. If you want to live
in a safe community, stand up for what you believe in.
• Don’t support illegal activities, like buying stolen property or using illegal drugs. It’s the wrong message to send to a child, and it involves you in criminal activity. It also encourages more crime that hurts you and your neighbours.
