A report was subsequently made to the Central Division Operational Command Centre. Acting on information received, police officers of the Central Criminal Investigations Department (CCID), Operations and with the assistance of the Central Division Task Force – North and Central Division Gang Unit, executed search warrants at the homes of two 16-year-olds of Pasea Main Road, Tunapuna and Henry Street, Tunapuna.
