POLICE are extremely concerned about the safety of a family of five after they disappeared without a trace over the weekend. Marsha Hepburn Peters, 34, and her four children - Joel,12, Shamar, 8, Charis, 6, and Zion, 2 - became the subject of a widespread police search after they went missing on Sunday between 1am and 6am. Few details became available before press time last night, but senior officers said there may be cause to worry. Anyone who may have information concerning the whereabouts of the Peters family, who live on Lottie Tynes Boulevard in Millenium Gardens, is asked to call police urgently on 502-9991, 502-9910 or Crime Stoppers on 328-TIPS. Officers are also investigating a shooting that has left one man in hospital. The victim was at a business establishment on the corner of Key West Street and Cordeaux Avenue at around 4pm yesterday, when he was shot in the "upper body" according to police. He was taken to hospital in a private car. His condition could not be determined last night. Police said they are unsure of the circumstances surrounding the incident and appealed to anyone with relevant information to come forward. It was also announced yesterday that in keeping with Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade's policing plan, "Tackling Crime and Allaying the Fear of Crime", Cable Beach officers conducted Operation Roll Out in Gambier Village on Sunday between 5pm and midnight. The operation resulted in 15 drivers being cited for various traffic infractions and 11 people being arrested. Two people were detained in connection with immigration investigations and the other 9 are on outstanding warrants of arrest. Officers also closed a night club in the area because it lacked the appropriate license.
