When persons visited the 11 police stations in St Mary earlier this year to ask the cops what were the items needed to make their duties a little easier, little did they know what was in store.

That visit was followed by another from Minister Robert Montague, who verified, first-hand, the items requested.

Meanwhile, Montague, who is from the parish, gave the list to family members and friends overseas and asked them to donate items.

The minister, with a truckload of items in tow, surprised the police with the supplies they had requested, during their regular weekly briefing meetings .

Needless to say, they were grateful for the items, which included a water tank, an air-conditioning unit, television sets, microwave ovens, a printer-copier, tyres, cooking gas and chairs.
