Sev­en for­eign na­tion­als, be­tween the ages of 23 and 32, have been ar­rest­ed by the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) af­ter they al­leged­ly failed to pro­duce valid iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and im­mi­gra­tion doc­u­ments dur­ing a po­lice ex­er­cise at a bar in Tu­na­puna.

Po­lice said the ar­rests were made on Thurs­day night dur­ing a tar­get­ed an­ti-crime ex­er­cise dubbed Op­er­a­tion Watch Tow­er in the North-Cen­tral Di­vi­sion.
