The spe­cial unit com­pris­ing of­fi­cers from the Li­cens­ing Di­vi­sion and the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) was kept busy en­forc­ing ve­hi­cle reg­u­la­tions over the Car­ni­val week­end.

Even af­ter warn­ing band own­ers and mas lead­ers that their trucks could be pulled off the Car­ni­val cir­cuit for non-com­pli­ance days be­fore the cul­mi­na­tion of the fes­tiv­i­ties, at least two bands were in­con­ve­nienced af­ter this hap­pened on Car­ni­val Sun­day at South Quay, Port-of-Spain; and along Ari­api­ta Av­enue, Wood­brook, on Mon­day.

Mean­while, the op­er­a­tor of a mu­sic truck for the band Bel­mont Ex­ot­ic Styl­ish Sailors faced some heat from the en­force­ment team at 10.05 am yes­ter­day, when he was stopped for ex­ceed­ing the height re­quire­ment.
