The TTPS has confirmed the successful recovery of kidnapped victims, Mr. Keeran Latchman and Mr. Ryan Singh, following a precision-led intelligence operation conducted in the Valencia district today, Wednesday, 23rd July 2025.

According to a statement from the TTPS, on July 21st, 2025, Mr. Latchman and Mr. Singh were abducted while en route to Valencia to conduct a delivery. Their vehicle was later discovered abandoned in Arouca, prompting immediate law enforcement response and intelligence gathering efforts. Subsequent information led TTPS officers to a location in Valencia, where two individuals were detained in connection with the abduction.

Further intelligence revealed that associates guarding the hostages fled the camp upon learning of the detention of their accomplices and the presence of police in the area. Seizing the moment, the victims were able to escape and made their way to the Valencia Police Station, where they are currently assisting officers with inquiries.

They will be taken for medical attention before being reunited with their families. This operation was jointly coordinated by Commissioner of Police, Allister Guevarro, Deputy Commissioner, Suzette Martin, and Assistant Commissioner, Richard Smith, with supervision by Senior Superintendent Winston Maharaj and Superintendent Anderson Pariman.

Commissioner Guevarro stated, “The swift response and inter-agency coordination underscore our commitment to protecting citizens and dismantling criminal networks. I commend the officers for their disciplined approach and express relief at the safe return of the victims.” Investigations remain ongoing as TTPS continues its pursuit of all individuals involved.
