THREE men from Couva and San Fernando are expected to be charged with unlawful possession of a gun and ammunition.
They were held during an exercise between 8 pm and midnight on March 14 by Central Division Task Force officers led by Sgt Blackman and Cpl Sarran.
Snr Supt Carty, Supt Fitzworm, ASP Reyes and Insp Petti co-ordinated the exercise.
The officers received a tip-off and intercepted a white Nissan AD Wagon heading east along Couva Main Road.
