Of­fi­cers at­tached to the Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions Re­sponse Team (SORT) are cur­rent­ly con­duct­ing a raid at the home of a well-known Port-of-Spain busi­ness­man.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that the of­fi­cers are now search­ing a con­tain­er on the com­pound, which they en­tered short­ly af­ter 7.20 am Fri­day. They are al­so still search­ing the house with the as­sis­tance of snif­fer dogs.

The house is lo­cat­ed at the cor­ner of Flood Street, op­po­site Jack­son Square, St Clair. The of­fi­cers re­port­ed­ly gained en­trance to the heav­i­ly se­cured prop­er­ty from a side en­trance.

Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Gary Grif­fith ar­rived on the scene a short while ago to over­see the op­er­a­tions. Of­fi­cers were re­luc­tant to give any in­for­ma­tion on why the raid was be­ing con­duct­ed on the busi­ness­man’s home. How­ev­er, Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands they ex­e­cut­ed a search war­rant for nar­cotics.

More as in­for­ma­tion comes to hand.
