Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Gary Grif­fith says an in­ves­ti­ga­tion is un­der­way in­to a re­port that elec­toral polling cards were found at Pin­to Road, Ari­ma, yes­ter­day.

Ac­cord­ing to an of­fi­cial state­ment is­sued by the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS), the dis­cov­ery was made on Wednes­day evening by a Min­is­ter of Re­li­gion and a for­mer Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment.

The TTPS re­lease ex­plains that at around 6:25 pm on Wednes­day 12th Au­gust 2020, the re­li­gious leader and the for­mer MP re­ceived in­for­ma­tion from an anony­mous caller, which led them to a bushy area at Mot­t­ley Trace, # 2 Pin­to Road, Ari­ma. They were ac­com­pa­nied by a friend. While there, they re­port­ed­ly ob­served a quan­ti­ty of elec­toral polling cards in the bushy area and re­port­ed the dis­cov­ery to the po­lice.

WPC Smith and PC D'Abreau of the Pin­to Po­lice Post re­spond­ed to the re­port and cor­doned off the area. The scene was processed by WPC Edghill-Mar­cano and a team from the North­ern Di­vi­sion Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tors.

The polling cards were pack­aged in­to four small brown pa­per ev­i­dence bags and hand­ed over to In­sp (Ag) Ward who is con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.

The op­er­a­tion was co­or­di­nat­ed by Supt Ed­wards and was su­per­vised by In­sp. Birch, Ag. In­sp. Ward, and W/Sgt Robin­son-Mot­t­ley.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
