Four sus­pects were ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with firearm-re­lat­ed and lar­ce­ny of­fences in sep­a­rate in­ci­dents this week.

Around 3:05 p.m. on Tues­day, of­fi­cers from the Port-of-Spain Di­vi­sion car­ried out an ex­er­cise in the St Clair dis­trict dur­ing which they stopped a white Nis­san AD wag­on, with three male pas­sen­gers.

A search of the ve­hi­cle led to the dis­cov­ery of one pis­tol loaded with 15 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion. The ve­hi­cle al­so had false reg­is­tra­tion plates and was sus­pect­ed to have been stolen.

The sus­pects, ages 20 to 24, all of Mor­vant, were ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with the find.

In a sep­a­rate op­er­a­tion on Mon­day, of­fi­cers from the Rio Claro Po­lice Sta­tion con­duct­ed an ex­er­cise in the East­ern Di­vi­sion be­tween 11:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. They ar­rest­ed a 24-year-old man from Rio Claro and re­cov­ered sev­er­al pow­er tools pre­vi­ous­ly re­port­ed stolen.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
