Mason Hall operation leads to arrest and cash seizure

The To­ba­go Di­vi­sion­al Task Force (TDTF) con­duct­ed a tar­get­ed pre-dawn raid and search op­er­a­tion in Ma­son Hall on Tues­day, April 14, 2026, re­sult­ing in the ar­rest of one in­di­vid­ual and the seizure of a sig­nif­i­cant sum of cash.

The ex­er­cise took place be­tween 3:15 am and 4:15 am at Bel­mont Farm Road, Ma­son Hall, with­in the Scar­bor­ough Po­lice Dis­trict. Of­fi­cers car­ried out the op­er­a­tion un­der the State of Emer­gency Pow­ers Reg­u­la­tions based on in­tel­li­gence re­lat­ing to the pos­si­ble stor­age of il­le­gal firearms, am­mu­ni­tion and nar­cotics.

Dur­ing the ex­er­cise, of­fi­cers re­cov­ered a sig­nif­i­cant sum of cash at the premis­es. One man was ar­rest­ed and is as­sist­ing po­lice with en­quiries in­to the ori­gin of the mon­ey. In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing to de­ter­mine the to­tal val­ue of the cash and the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the find.

The TDTF con­tin­ues to in­ten­si­fy op­er­a­tions tar­get­ing pri­or­i­ty of­fend­ers and dis­rupt­ing crim­i­nal net­works. Po­lice say these ef­forts form part of a broad­er strat­e­gy to strength­en safe­ty and se­cu­ri­ty across To­ba­go.
