The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) seized approximately $1.3 million worth of cannabis during an intelligence-led anti-crime operation conducted in the Cunupia Police District on Friday 15th May, 2026, under the State of Emergency (SOE) Regulations 2026.

This targeted exercise formed part of Central Division’s continued strategic offensive against narcotics trafficking, gang-related violence, illegal firearms, and organised criminal networks operating within vulnerable communities.

At approximately 8:00 a.m., acting on credible intelligence, officers conducted surveillance and subsequent search operations at a residence located at Rasheed Avenue, Munroe Road, Cunupia. During the exercise, officers detained a 31-year-old taxi driver, who subsequently led investigators to concealed crocus bags within an abandoned structure adjacent to the premises.
