The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) says it has achieved a significant breakthrough in its border security operations with the newly installed radar system delivering its first major success; a large narcotics seizure in the Caroni Swamp.

In a media release on Thursday, the TTPS stated the radar system, recently commissioned to strengthen the national security apparatus, was instrumental in this discovery.

The nature of the technology and operational aspects of the exercise cannot be shared with the public but the intelligence triggered a coordinated response led by the Commissioner of Police, Allister Guevarro, as well as Deputy Commissioners of Police Natasha George and Suzette Martin, it stated.
