Of­fi­cers of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) re­cov­ered a firearm and am­mu­ni­tion dur­ing an in­tel­li­gence‑led op­er­a­tion in the Bun­see Trace, Pe­nal Rock Road dis­trict.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, the ex­er­cise was con­duct­ed around 1:30 p.m. on June 27 in the vicin­i­ty of the Mud Vol­cano along a farm­ing dirt road. Of­fi­cers ob­served two men who, up­on notic­ing the po­lice pres­ence, fled in­to a near­by forest­ed area. De­spite ex­ten­sive search­es, the sus­pects man­aged to evade cap­ture.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors then turned their at­ten­tion to a makeshift camp in the area. A search re­vealed a shot­gun con­cealed with­in the roof struc­ture. Of­fi­cers al­so dis­cov­ered two 12‑gauge car­tridges marked “SAGA,” hid­den in­side a one‑litre cran­ber­ry juice con­tain­er filled with saw­dust.
