Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der has is­sued a stern warn­ing to the pub­lic, em­pha­sis­ing that weapons have no place in Trinidad and To­ba­go’s Car­ni­val cel­e­bra­tions and that any­one found in pos­ses­sion will face se­ri­ous con­se­quences.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia dur­ing the Chil­dren’s Car­ni­val pa­rade and treat along the East­ern Main Road, Tu­na­puna, yes­ter­day, Alexan­der said that bring­ing weapons to Car­ni­val events sig­nals trou­ble.

He urged rev­ellers, par­tic­u­lar­ly dur­ing J’Ou­vert, to come with good in­ten­tions and leave weapons at home.
