POLICE recovered guns – including two high-powered weapons found in El Socorro and Laventille – arrested a 17-year-old boy on robbery enquiries, and destroyed a marijuana field in Tobago during anti-crime operations over the last 72 hours.

Several suspects were detained for various offences during a series of coordinated operations across multiple policing divisions on August 1 and 2, in state of emergency raids.

A media release, on August 2, said the operations resulted in several “significant” arrests and marijuana with an estimated street value of over $125,000 was destroyed.
