The woman who resided on the property where fugitive Alvone Maybury was found in a small shed, has claimed she had no idea he was there.

Kim Tacklyn said her daughter called her around 1.30 p.m. yesterday to say Police had surrounded her Secret Lane home and were looking for Maybury.

She said she was shocked when she learned he was found there as she barely knew the 24-year-old.

"It was a complete surprise. No, I didn't have no idea that he was there.

"I don't know him personally, my cousin has a little boy for him that is how I know him."

Maybury and his ex-girlfriend, Malisa Swan, have a three-year-old son, Amir.

Maybury escaped Police custody after a Magistrates' Court appearance on July 13, when he was charged with three gun offences.

He had been on the run for nearly two weeks and posted messages on his Facebook page during his time on the loose.

Yesterday Police were stationed on The Glebe Road in Pembroke to hunt for him.

According to one eyewitness officers "were quiet and quick" and took no more than 20 minutes to arrest Maybury and two others who Police have declined to name.

The woman said an unmarked Police car blocked the entrance to the road, while officers searched the premises.

They arrested a female and then a male who it is understood was living in the shed. Maybury was arrested last.

The eyewitness said Maybury "had on a graphic T-shirt and jeans".

"I couldn't say what was on his feet. He was calm he didn't resist Police or anything."

She said Maybury hadn't done anything to change his appearance and still had braids in his hair and nothing covering the tattoo on his face.

"It's weird. It is surreal. He wasn't agitated or anything he was just fine," the woman continued.

"Police officers were on either side of Alvone and behind him. They all had him circled."

The shed where he was found, measured ten by ten feet and had a television but no bathroom, the witness said.

According to other area residents, Police have conducted numerous searches in The Glebe Road neighbourhood in the past week.

A white house across the street had its door broken in on Friday evening. Officers arrived at that home around 4.30 p.m. armed with AK47s and shields looking for the fugitive, one person explained.

Another resident told The Royal Gazette: "We feel relieved that he got caught to take off the stress on the neighbourhood. No more Police going up and down and blocking the road for no reason."

A business owner in the area also expressed relief that the constant Police searches would stop, claiming they had an impact on her business.

"The neighbourhood people have been complaining that the Police come around here and they always block off the shop and it has nothing to do with us around here."

"They come around here and they mark up people's doors and kick in people's doors and these [residents] do not know anything about what is happening."

Another person said: "I wondered where they were going to catch him. They brought out the heavy artillery for him."
