Police appeal for help in finding missing Arima pensioner

Po­lice are seek­ing the pub­lic’s ur­gent as­sis­tance in lo­cat­ing 73-year-old Gre­go­ry Ca­pri­et­ta, who has been re­port­ed miss­ing af­ter last be­ing seen near­ly a week ago.

Ac­cord­ing to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS), Ca­pri­et­ta, of Ari­ma, was last seen last Mon­day. His dis­ap­pear­ance was re­port­ed to the Ari­ma Po­lice Sta­tion on Sun­day, Ju­ly 5, prompt­ing of­fi­cers to launch a search.

Po­lice de­scribed Ca­pri­et­ta as be­ing of mixed de­scent, stand­ing five feet, eight inch­es tall, with a light brown com­plex­ion and short grey hair.

He was last seen wear­ing a white shirt, a pair of long blue jeans and a ban­dage on his right foot.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors have not dis­closed the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing his dis­ap­pear­ance but are urg­ing any­one with in­for­ma­tion that could as­sist in lo­cat­ing him to con­tact the au­thor­i­ties im­me­di­ate­ly.

The TTPS is ask­ing any­one who has seen Ca­pri­et­ta since June 29 or who knows of his where­abouts to call the Ari­ma Po­lice Sta­tion at 667-3563.

In­for­ma­tion can al­so be pro­vid­ed anony­mous­ly by con­tact­ing Crime Stop­pers at 800-TIPS. Mem­bers of the pub­lic may al­so reach the po­lice by di­alling 555, 999 or 911, or by re­port­ing in­for­ma­tion to the near­est po­lice sta­tion.

Po­lice are urg­ing mem­bers of the pub­lic not to dis­miss any in­for­ma­tion that may help in­ves­ti­ga­tors, not­ing that even seem­ing­ly mi­nor de­tails could prove sig­nif­i­cant in ef­forts to lo­cate the miss­ing man.

Search ef­forts are con­tin­u­ing as in­ves­ti­ga­tors work to de­ter­mine Ca­pri­et­ta’s where­abouts and re­unite him safe­ly with his fam­i­ly. Any­one with rel­e­vant in­for­ma­tion is en­cour­aged to con­tact the po­lice with­out de­lay.
