The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is in­ves­ti­gat­ing po­ten­tial threats aimed at dis­rupt­ing the April 28 Gen­er­al Elec­tion.

This was re­vealed by act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Ju­nior Ben­jamin dur­ing a me­dia brief­ing at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing in Port-of-Spain yes­ter­day. He con­firmed that the au­thor­i­ties had re­ceived “cer­tain in­tel­li­gence” sug­gest­ing a pos­si­ble dis­rup­tion was be­ing planned.

Ben­jamin de­clined to dis­close fur­ther de­tails about the bomb­shell claim, stat­ing, “The in­tel­li­gence would lead us to be­lieve that things are afoot to dis­rupt the elec­toral process, and we are say­ing to all per­sons, and this in­cludes all par­ties as well, we want any­one seek­ing to dis­rupt the elec­toral process. We will take a ze­ro-tol­er­ance ap­proach in deal­ing with that.”
