King, in his broadcast, said that his government would crack down on hardened criminals in St Lucia as police reported that warring gangs were engaged in drive-by shootings. So far for the year, 15 people have been murdered in the relatively small island with a population of approximately 150,000.St Lucia Prime Minister Stephenson KingThe prime minister in the State of the Nation address said many St Lucians live in fear because criminal elements have preyed on the minds of our youth "as they attempt to destabilise our country and create chaos where previously we enjoyed peace and tranquility." He added, "Tonight I wish to reiterate that this government will not allow our society and our way of life to deteriorate to the extent that criminals feel they can operate with impunity. We will not become prisoners in our society." King stressed that the criminal elements cannot win, and they will be hunted down.
