Soldier among three held for POS Robbery

By Shirvan Williams

The TTPS has revealed that a 27-year-old member of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) was among three suspects held during a brazen robbery in Port of Spain yesterday, December 15.

According to reports, around 9:30 pm on December 14th, 2022, a business man was at his electronics store on Frederick Street, when three men entered the business place. They announced a holdup, demanded cash, and subsequently gagged the owner and relieved him of $1,600.

The TTPS further stated that:

“A report was made to the police, who responded in quick time and proceeded to the scene of the incident. PC Mohammed and officers of the Port of Spain Task Force confronted the suspects, who were allegedly in possession of housebreaking implements. The officers then subdued and detained the suspects.

A soldier, a 20 and 27-year-old, all from Paradise Heights, Morvant are currently in police custody.”

Enquiries are ongoing.
