APPROXIMATELY 25,573 rounds of 5.56 ammunition in reserve for the Trinidad and Tobago Regiment (TTR) were discovered missing earlier this month during a physical examination at the Cumuto Barracks.

The ammo was removed from the Cumuto Barracks bunker and relocated to a nearby structure of the Barracks compound sometime in 2022.

The Sunday Express sent questions to Nation­al Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds via WhatsApp between Wed­nesday and Friday last week about the missing ammunition at the Cumuto Barracks, but he failed to respond.
