The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice has clar­i­fied that of­fi­cers are re­quired to re­lease a ve­hi­cle if the dri­ver or per­son in con­trol ap­pears while the ve­hi­cle is be­ing hooked up to a wreck­er, pro­vid­ed the ve­hi­cle has not yet been re­moved from where it was parked.

In a press re­lease, the TTPS said:

“Where a ve­hi­cle has been hooked up or is in the ac­tu­al process of be­ing hooked up to a wreck­er, but has not been re­moved, and the dri­ver or per­son in con­trol si­mul­ta­ne­ous­ly ap­pears and claims the ve­hi­cle, the of­fi­cer shall re­lease the ve­hi­cle to that per­son.”
