Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander says the government is actively working on plans to combat rising crime and gang violence in TT, promising that people will soon “see and not just hear” the results.

Speaking on the Morning Edition programme on CCN TV6 on July 14, Alexander acknowledged a recent increase in crime, particularly as the school term comes to a close.

“Statistics show that at the close of the term, there is an increase in crime. Gang warfare has continued to show its ugly face nationwide, putting people at risk,” he said.
