The United Progressive Party (UPP) wishes to extend sincerest condolences to the family and colleagues of Acting Station Sargent Newton Lewis.
His commitment to law enforcement and bravery during an armed robbery is a reminder of the escalating threats to stability under which our communities and the RBPF now endure. For us, he is a true hero.
