Over a dozen police officers, four TT Defence Force officers and mall security locked down the Cathay House wing of Carlton Centre, San Fernando, on March 21 as they searched for a suspect in a High Street robbery.

Newsday had a front-row seat to the events as its south bureau is housed in that wing of the mall.

Around 10.26 am, police told staff at offices and businesses in the block to lock their doors and not let anyone in or out as they searched the building.
