Sev­en per­sons, two of whom are Venezue­lans, are cur­rent­ly be­ing in­ter­ro­gat­ed by de­tec­tives in con­nec­tion with the seizure of a quan­ti­ty of drugs, guns and am­mu­ni­tion, in North and Cen­tral Trinidad yes­ter­day.

The ar­rests and seizures were a part of an in­tel­li­gence-led ex­er­cise in­volv­ing a team of of­fi­cers at­tached to the North­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force (NDTF) who raid­ed a busi­ness place and a ware­house in Curepe and Ca­roni, re­spec­tive­ly, on Sat­ur­day 27th June, 2021.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, at 2.30 pm, NDTF of­fi­cers first pro­ceed­ed to an es­tab­lish­ment lo­cat­ed along Lyn­don Street, Curepe, where they ex­e­cut­ed a search war­rant. Dur­ing the search, po­lice of­fi­cers al­leged­ly dis­cov­ered 30 pack­ets of mar­i­jua­na.
