PORT OF SPAIN businessmen who complained about an increase in pick-pocketing and purse snatching met twice with the city’s mayor and the police this week bringing the issue to their attention.
The information was disclosed following the two meetings—one on Wednesday and another yesterday—between the business community, the office of the mayor, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) and the Port of Spain City Police.
President of the Downtown Owners and Merchants Association (DOMA) Gregory Aboud told the Express yesterday that incidents of pick-pocketing and the snatching of purses and jewelry were not random acts, but an organised, structured plan to rob visitors to the city.
