One arrested and three firearms seized

One sus­pect was ar­rest­ed and three firearms and quan­ti­ties of am­mu­ni­tion seized dur­ing Op­er­a­tion Se­cure D’ Vibes ex­er­cis­es this week.

In the first ex­er­cise, of­fi­cers con­duct­ed an in­tel­li­gence-dri­ven op­er­a­tion in the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion on Feb­ru­ary 19. Of­fi­cers of the Gang and In­tel­li­gence Unit went to the Jade Court area where they searched an aban­doned struc­ture. The search led to the dis­cov­ery of a high-pow­ered ri­fle wrapped in plas­tic.

The op­er­a­tion was spear­head­ed by Snr Supt Bhag­wan­deen, Supt Frank, Supt Glodon and ASP Her­nan­dez.

In a sep­a­rate ex­er­cise in the West­ern Di­vi­sion, Gang and In­tel­li­gence Unit per­son­nel con­duct­ed checks in the Care­nage, West End and Four Roads dis­tricts be­tween 4 pm and 9 pm on Feb­ru­ary 20.

Around 7.30 pm, of­fi­cers were along La Puer­ta Av­enue, Diego Mar­tin, when they ar­rest­ed a 25-year-old man for pos­ses­sion of a Glock 23 pis­tol loaded with 13 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion.
