The Police have taken at least one person into custody for disobeying the curfew order.
A video was posted to social media with a group of men insisting that they would continue to disobey the 8 pm curfew time.
The JCF says swift action by the police resulted in the narrator of the video being taken into custody.
The Constabulary is thanking the many persons who played their part in both bringing this video to their attention and helping with the investigation.
