The Rastafarian faith is known for its culture of love and peace however, their reputation is being tainted as residents of Weise Road, Bull Bay allege criminals are using the Bobo Hill space as an escape route after committing several shootings. 

There has been an increase in police presence in the communities following a drive-by that resulted in the deaths of two persons recently. Most recently, another drive-by in Dirt Road, Bull Bay resulted in four being injured and claiming the life of one.
