Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro praised southern division officers for their “quick and diligent work” after they apprehended two suspects in Debe during a late-night chase on August 31.

Officers were on mobile patrol around 11.30 p.m. when they observed a white Nissan B15 with two men inside proceeding along Wellington Road. When the marked police vehicle approached, the driver sped off, prompting a high-speed chase that ended in Ramasray Gardens when the suspects’ car crashed into a drain.

The driver ran but was held a short distance away, while the passenger was arrested at the vehicle. Officers recovered a revolver with three rounds of ammunition and a quantity of cannabis inside the car. Police said the 24-year-old driver from San Fernando and the 29-year-old passenger from Princes Town were taken into custody. The driver was also found to be operating the vehicle without a driver’s license or insurance.
