Police dismiss social media reports

Police have dismissed the reports being circulated on the social media that a police officer was recently shot and injured.

“There is a video currently being circulated on social media, falsely indicating that a police officer was recently shot and injured,” Police Public Relations Officer, acting Station Sergeant Michael Blackman said.

Blackman cautioned the public to be more cautious in how they use social media.

“I wish to urge the public to be more mindful of these social media videos as they only put unnecessary fear in the lives of law abiding citizens,” he said.
