The man believed to be behind the wheel in Saturday’s hit and run accident which claimed the life of sport photojournalist Anthony Harris, has been detained by police.

Cops were able to trace the suspect after finding out the number plate of the vehicle and the registered owner through the Li­cens­ing Au­thor­i­ty.

He was detained in Central Trinidad last evening.

While investigators will continue digging to find out if the registered owner was, in fact, behind the wheel at the time of the incident, they noted that the vehicle had been freshly painted.

Anthony Harris was cycling around the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah in Port-of-Spain on Sat­ur­day when he was struck.

He succumbed to his injuries by Sunday morning.
