ACP North East Curt Simon says a decrease in the number of people being charged with gang offences does not reflect a failure on the part of the T&T Police Service (TTPS) to dismantle gangs.
Data collected by the police Crime and Problem Analysis branch showed that only seven people were charged with gang offences between January 1 to July 28, compared to 13 for the same period last year.
From this year’s figures, four people were charged for being gang members, while two were charged for being gang leaders and one was charged with promoting a gang.
