Ten peo­ple are now in cus­tody, and 43 firearms and over 900 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion have been re­cov­ered as in­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue in­to the theft of weapons from the San Fer­nan­do Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Sta­tion on Sun­day.

“Since this in­ci­dent oc­curred less than 48 hours ago, the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice has worked around the clock. I have con­firmed that, ac­cord­ing to the in­for­ma­tion from the Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, that 10 men, ages 16 to 33, are cur­rent­ly in po­lice cus­tody. We have made sig­nif­i­cant progress in the re­cov­ery of the stolen hard­ware, in­clud­ing one MPX sub­ma­chine gun, four shot­guns, one re­volver, and 39 pis­tols. That in­cludes al­so, Mr. Pres­i­dent, 900 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion. Mr. Speak­er, al­so, 39 pis­tol mag­a­zines and one MPX mag­a­zine.”
