From crime pre­ven­tion to coun­ter­feit cur­ren­cy and beach safe­ty, au­thor­i­ties say the Car­ni­val long week­end will be close­ly mon­i­tored and those who break the law should ex­pect con­se­quences.

The warn­ing came from Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der and De­fence Min­is­ter Wayne Sturge dur­ing a me­dia con­fer­ence at the Na­tion­al Car­ni­val Com­mis­sion’s VIP Lounge at the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day.

With the Pa­rade of the Bands just days away, Alexan­der said se­cu­ri­ty forces are pre­pared.
