TTPS Dispels Circulating Rumour That POS, Besson Street Police Station Is “Under Attack”

By Newsroom

A voice note circulating online which claims that access to Port of Spain has been cut off and that Police Stations, namely the Besson Street Police Station, is under attack, is completely false.

The TTPS says checks were made via the Operational Command Centre using CCTV footage, and confirms that the areas in which the incidents allegedly occurred, had no disturbances.

DCP Jacob, addressing the issue, stated, “If an incident such as this one was occurring, an alert by the TTPS or the Ministry of National Security would be issued informing the public.” 

“The TTPS would like to remind the public to always check the credibility of the sources of information before sharing. Information of this nature can lead to undue panic in the community and throughout the wider population,” the TTPS statement read.
