In an effort to restore peace in the Balandra and Rampanalagas districts on Trinidad’s north coast, Eastern Division police officers have been teaming up daily with OCNSB officers and other units of the TTPS to crack down on criminal activity. So far their efforts have resulted in four persons being arrested and the seizure of four guns and quantity of ammunition.
The latest success was on Thursday at around 4 am when a joint police exercise was conducted in the Balandra forest.
The officers came across a camp, arrested two men and seized a Glock and two Ruger pistols along with 100 assorted ammunition, extended magazines and marijuana with a street value of $200,000.
The men were charged by Cpl Ramnarine of the Sangre Grande Task Force for possession of firearms and ammunition and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. They are expected to appear before a Sangre Grande magistrate on Monday.
