Sev­en po­lice of­fi­cers have now been ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with the dis­ap­pear­ance of three firearms and a quan­ti­ty of am­mu­ni­tion from the Cen­tral Po­lice Sta­tion at St Vin­cent Street, Port-of-Spain.

Se­nior po­lice of­fi­cials con­firmed the ma­jor twist in the probe yes­ter­day, say­ing the of­fi­cers, who were of vary­ing ranks, would have been on shift the night when the arms and am­mu­ni­tion went miss­ing.

Ac­cord­ing to se­nior po­lice, the of­fi­cers were be­ing ques­tioned up to late yes­ter­day but no charges had yet been laid.
