Police officers arrested three people—two men and one woman—after they blocked what was supposed to have been a Peace Walk seeking to end gang violence in east Port-of-Spain yesterday.
Those arrested were said to be two men suspected of being “snatchers” and one woman who is alleged to have behaved in a disorderly manner while police were attempting to get residents to disperse after alerting them to the fact that they did not have permission to conduct the activity. The three were held along Queen Street, near the Duncan Street Plannings.
As the men were carted off, residents, who were at first upset that an officer had pulled his handgun out of the holster while chasing the men, soon congratulated the police for arresting the men, saying they wanted a crime-free community.
