Hesitancy created by the police’s eagerness to crack down on congregating in Maloney has led to a sales headache for small business owners.

The area was declared a closed area by the T&T Police Service on Tuesday night, and the impact has been immediate.

In addition to having to close at 9 pm, shop owners in the area said customers have been reluctant to come out to make purchases and the police are also swarming on any visible gatherings in public.
