Seven foreign nationals held in Tunapuna

Sev­en for­eign na­tion­als, be­tween the ages of 23 and 32, have been ar­rest­ed af­ter they al­leged­ly failed to pro­duce valid iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and im­mi­gra­tion doc­u­ments dur­ing a po­lice ex­er­cise at a bar in Tu­na­puna.

Ac­cord­ing to a re­lease from the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS), the ar­rests were made last night dur­ing a tar­get­ed an­ti-crime ex­er­cise dubbed Op­er­a­tion Watch Tow­er in the North-Cen­tral Di­vi­sion.

Of­fi­cers con­duct­ed com­pli­ance checks at the es­tab­lish­ment and de­tained the sev­en in­di­vid­u­als af­ter they were un­able to present valid pass­ports, iden­ti­fi­ca­tion cards or le­gal im­mi­gra­tion doc­u­ments.
