From Threats To Action : Men Found Scouting Lozano Residence
Fri, May 20, 2016
Now although Smith has been charged, police remain alert and in tune with the street operations in Ladyville. That's how they caught 4 men and a minor in a truck, lurking near the Milpa and Marage Road Area - right where the Lozano's live. Police spotted them around 11:30 last night and they were all searched. No weapons were found but what raised the red flag was the fact that one of the men in the vehicle was Rhamdas's cousin. Police told us that last night was not the first time men were seen suspiciously scouting that area.

"This last evening due to efforts of our police officers in the Milpa-Marage road area, we came upon a black pickup truck, C-27748 which was driven at the time by Glen Reneau, 34 years of a Neal's Pen Road address. A juvenile, 16 years of the same address, One Germain Patnet, 31 years of Manta Ray Boulevard, Curl Estrada, 28 years of Silk Grass Village and Dion Rhamdas of Manta Ray Boulevard in the area of Bobo Hill near the Milpa-Mirage road area. Upon seeing the police, the driver of the pickup, increased speed. However, the police managed to intercept them and we have been conducting searches in the area this morning to see if any firearms or what have you was thrown out. Yesterday morning, we had reports that there were 4 other male persons in that area with firearms. We had combed the area and we did not find anyone in the area, but we had made sure that we placed resources in that area to see what is happening and these are the individuals that we came upon around 11:30 last night."

"In your comment just now I heard Rhamdas. Would that mean that those persons were out to take revenge or retaliation for the death of Mr. Rhamdas?"

ACP Edward Broaster, O. C. Eastern Rural Division
"We cannot say absolute, but given the nature of the relation a cousin of Lionel Rhamdas and the area they were in and the fact that we had 2 reports of gun men in the area, engaging them in that area we believe that something was amiss indeed."
