A coordinated and intelligence-guided police exercise has led to the recovery of a stolen motor vehicle and the arrest of a juvenile suspect, following a robbery reported on Wednesday 7 January 2026.

The vehicle, a white Nissan B15 (B-series sedan), was reported stolen during a robbery incident earlier this week. Acting swiftly on operational intelligence, officers attached to the Central Division Task Force (Area South) successfully recovered the vehicle at Lisas Boulevard, Couva, Couva-Tabaquite-Talparo region.
