The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) says in­ten­si­fied an­ti-crime op­er­a­tions un­der the State of Emer­gency reg­u­la­tions have led to mul­ti­ple ar­rests and the seizure of sig­nif­i­cant quan­ti­ties of cannabis in co­or­di­nat­ed ex­er­cis­es across east­ern and north­ern Trinidad.

The lat­est op­er­a­tions, con­duct­ed over two days, tar­get­ed ar­eas in San­gre Grande, Va­len­cia and Mal­oney as part of what po­lice de­scribed as sus­tained ef­forts to dis­rupt crim­i­nal ac­tiv­i­ty and re­move il­le­gal drugs from com­mu­ni­ties.

On Sun­day, of­fi­cers car­ried out a rov­ing road check ex­er­cise be­tween 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. in the San­gre Grande and Va­len­cia dis­tricts.
