Nine individuals previously held in connection with the recent vandalism of Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) facilities in Tobago have been released, police confirmed on Wednesday.

Superintendent Rodhil Kirk told the Express that the group, which included one WASA employee and two women, was released around noon on Tuesday pending further investigation. The individuals come from areas including Claxton Bay, Golden Lane, Smithfield, Scarborough, and Delaford.

“They were released pending further enquiries into the matter. It does not mean that the investigation has stopped. The investigation remains ongoing at a sensitive stage,” Superintendent Kirk said, urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity near WASA installations.
