CASTRIES, Saint Lucia, Sept 19, CMC – The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) says a 26-year-old Saint Lucian man wanted in Martinique on several criminal charges has been extradited to the French territory.
Jahvis Marlon Alfred of Wiltons Yard, Castries, was extradited to Martinique on Thursday, after surrendering to French authorities through established legal cooperation arrangements.
According to the police, Alfred was wanted in Martinique on charges including armed robbery, criminal conspiracy and firearm offences.
The RSLPF said the cpurt in Martinique had sentenced Alfred to 15 years in prison in November 2021.
He was arrested in Saint Lucia on February 7, 2026, and held at the Bordelais Correctional Facility on a provisional warrant pending the extradition proceedings.
The police said the case demonstrates the role of international law enforcement cooperation in pursuing individuals across jurisdictions.
“To those contemplating criminal activity: Think carefully about the consequences of your actions. The reach of the law does not end at the border,” the RSLPF said.
The force also reaffirmed its commitment to working with regional and international partners to support investigations, facilitate judicial proceedings and promote public safety.
