The TTPS arrested one man and seized 3.71 kilogrammes of marijuana, yesterday April 7.

According to the TTPS:

At 8.30 am a party of officers led by Sergeant Maharaj, PC Mendoza and PC Mc Allister were on traffic duties along Noel Street, South Couva. The officers made a routine stop of a Hyundai Elantra vehicle driven by a 37-year-old man. The driver began to behave suspiciously, and the officers then conducted a search of the vehicle.

During the search, 3.71 kilogrammes of marijuana were seized. The man was immediately arrested.

In a separate incident, a 24-year-old man from Blanchisseuse entered a bar in Chaguanas, jumped over the counter of the bar, and stole a quantity of cash, representing the day’s sale. It was reported that the man then fled on foot.

Officers of the Chaguanas Police were immediately contacted, and a party of officers from the Chaguanas Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Chaguanas Charge Room, Task Force Area North, and Highway Patrol responded promptly.

The suspect was apprehended a short while after, by officers of the Highway Patrol. PC Samad is continuing investigations into this matter.
