The Po­lice Ser­vice is con­firm­ing the dis­cov­ery and seizure of a quan­ti­ty of am­mu­ni­tion and mil­i­tary-style cloth­ing dur­ing an an­ti-crime ex­er­cise car­ried out in sev­er­al lo­ca­tions in Cen­tral Trinidad.

A state­ment from the TTPS re­ports that dur­ing the ex­er­cise, of­fi­cers ob­tained in­for­ma­tion that led them to search an aban­doned lot of land lo­cat­ed to the north of a res­i­dence in Char­lieville. At that lo­ca­tion, the of­fi­cers found and seized a mul­ti-coloured bag con­cealed un­der a burnt-out met­al bar­rel.

The bag con­tained a quan­ti­ty of as­sort­ed am­mu­ni­tion; three black hats bear­ing what ap­peared to be po­lice in­signia; and one cam­ou­flage uni­form re­sem­bling that used by the Trinidad and To­ba­go De­fence Force.

The TTPS state­ment notes the ex­er­cise con­clud­ed with­out in­ci­dent, and that PC Ro­driguez is con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
