At about 1815hrs last Friday, at Sir Herbert Miles Road in the vicinity of the Caleta Palace Hotel, officers of the RGP’s Drug Squad arrested Ernest Ullger of Schomberg, a 46 year-old British national, following a high-speed car chase which had started minutes before at Laguna Estate. Officers had initially attempted to stop Ullger after he had been seen acting suspiciously within his vehicle.

The Opposition Spokesman for Housing, Edwin Reyes, wishes to thank the pertinent Government Department / Authority / Contractor for installing additional lighting at the temporary entrance to Resolution House in Laguna Estate, despite the Minister for Housing having originally denied there were any Health & Safety concerns as expressed by tenants. The provision of more lights, as from Saturday, enhancing the access area to Resolution House is appreciated by residents in the block of flats concerned, says the GSD. Several tenants have personally thanked the Opposition for their input in helping to bring this matter to the Housing Ministry’s attention, “more so since their own course of actions had failed to achieve this.”
