Two ma­jor in­tel­li­gence-led op­er­a­tions were ex­e­cut­ed by units in the South­ern and South-West­ern Di­vi­sions on Tues­day and Wednes­day. The ex­er­cis­es tar­get­ed pri­or­i­ty of­fend­ers, il­le­gal firearms, am­mu­ni­tion, and nar­cotics and were con­duct­ed in line with TTPS poli­cies and the Emer­gency Pow­ers Reg­u­la­tions 2025.

Around 4:05 pm on Tues­day, of­fi­cers of the St. Madeleine Po­lice Sta­tion, St. Madeleine CID, the San Fer­nan­do Op­er­a­tions and En­quiries Unit, and the South­ern Di­vi­sion Road En­force­ment Task Force car­ried out an op­er­a­tion at Bal­isi­er Av­enue, Pleas­antville, in the Mon Re­pos Po­lice Dis­trict. The ex­er­cise was co­or­di­nat­ed by Sgt Har­riper­sad and su­per­vised in the field by Sgt Seecha­ran.

Dur­ing the op­er­a­tion, of­fi­cers at­tempt­ed to ar­rest a 23-year-old man iden­ti­fied as a Pri­or­i­ty Of­fend­er and a sus­pect in at­tempt­ed mur­der, wound­ing, and firearm-re­lat­ed of­fences. The sus­pect at­tempt­ed to run while point­ing an ob­ject re­sem­bling a firearm at of­fi­cers. Of­fi­cers dis­charged their ser­vice weapons in line with the TTPS Use of Force Pol­i­cy. The sus­pect sus­tained one gun­shot wound, was de­tained, tak­en for med­ical at­ten­tion, treat­ed, and dis­charged. Of­fi­cers re­cov­ered one Smith and Wes­son pis­tol, a mag­a­zine, and nine rounds of 9mm am­mu­ni­tion.
