Those detained include two (2) Municipal Police Officers, two (2) females, and two (2) other males.
Officers of the San Fernando Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Special Branch, and Special Investigations Unit, supported by intelligence-led operations and the strategic use of technology, worked throughout the night as they carried out several simultaneous operations and have made a significant breakthrough in the matter. As a result, a substantial quantity of the stolen firearms and ammunition has been recovered in South Trinidad:
10 M&P Pistols
10 Glock 19 pistols
1 Browning pistol
1 Smith & Wesson Pistol
612 rounds 9mm ammunition
Commissioner of Police, Allister Guevarro, led officers on the ground in the early hours of Monday morning as the investigation progressed and took a critical turn.
Investigations remain ongoing and are at a sensitive stage. The TTPS assures the public that all efforts are being made to bring those responsible to justice.
