AS DOZENS of Vincentians continue to refuse to leave areas surrounding the La Soufriere volcano, the police are taking matters into their own hands. Anyone caught there, in the “red zone” will be arrested and prosecuted.
The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) announced this on Monday afternoon. The volcano erupted three times on Friday and activity has been increasing. An evacuation order was issued on Thursday for those in the “red zone” in the northern part of the island.
