TWO men tried to break into the TSTT warehouse at the Eastern Main Road Exchange in Laventille on the morning of June 10 but were forced to flee after police on duty inside the facility fired at them.

Reports say around 9.05 am, two officers noticed a hole in the southern side of the compound wall. A man, whose head was covered with a white plastic bag, pushed his head through the hole before pulling back. Moments later, a second man, similarly dressed and masked, appeared. Both men were wearing dark clothing.

The first suspect entered the compound through the hole, followed by the second man, who appeared to have what looked like a gun tucked into his waistband. As the second suspect reached for the object, one of the officers issued a command for them to stop.
