One sus­pect has been ar­rest­ed, and two firearms, am­mu­ni­tion, and a sig­nif­i­cant quan­ti­ty of cannabis were seized as po­lice in­ten­si­fied op­er­a­tions across the coun­try un­der the on­go­ing State of Emer­gency (SoE).

The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) re­port­ed that in To­ba­go, joint forces car­ried out an ex­er­cise on Wednes­day at Wind­ward Road, De­laford.

Dur­ing a search of two un­oc­cu­pied con­crete struc­tures, of­fi­cers dis­cov­ered 11.1 kilo­grams of cannabis con­cealed in plas­tic bot­tles and pack­ets.

In the North­ern Di­vi­sion, Task Force of­fi­cers con­duct­ed an­oth­er op­er­a­tion in a bushy area along Train­line Pin­to Road, Ari­ma.

Mean­while, in the Port of Spain Di­vi­sion, a 25-year-old man from Beetham Gar­dens was ar­rest­ed at his home for pos­ses­sion of two mag­a­zines and 30 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion.

Ad­di­tion­al­ly, of­fi­cers from the North Cen­tral Di­vi­sion’s Gang and In­tel­li­gence Unit, along­side oth­er sup­port­ing units, re­turned to the scene of a re­cent po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing in the St Joseph Dis­trict on Tues­day.

A thor­ough search of the area led to the dis­cov­ery of a firearm hid­den in bush­es along a river­bank.
