Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro says there is no resurgence of kidnappings for ransom, even with the kidnapping and murder of Vishnu Lalla just last weekend.

Guevarro spoke at the end of a panel discussion at the American Chamber of Commerce TT’s Health and Safety Security and Environs conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

“We have no information from the TTPS that there has been any resurgence of any kidnapping in this country,” he said.
