TTPS urges caution as search for Angelo continues

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is urg­ing the pub­lic to ex­er­cise re­straint and re­spon­si­bil­i­ty in com­men­tary sur­round­ing the dis­ap­pear­ance of two-year-old An­ge­lo To­bias of Good­wood, To­ba­go, as search ef­forts con­tin­ue.

Po­lice said the mat­ter re­mains an ac­tive and high­ly sen­si­tive in­ves­ti­ga­tion, fol­low­ing re­ports that the child went miss­ing on Mon­day 11th May, 2026.

The TTPS con­firmed that a co­or­di­nat­ed mul­ti-agency search was launched im­me­di­ate­ly, cov­er­ing ar­eas around the child’s home and ex­tend­ing to near­by coastal wa­ters where he was last re­port­ed­ly seen.

Sev­er­al in­di­vid­u­als have been in­ter­viewed and state­ments record­ed as in­ves­ti­ga­tors con­tin­ue to pur­sue all pos­si­ble lines of in­quiry.

The Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions and the Spe­cial Vic­tims De­part­ment have al­so been brought in to as­sist with the case, which re­mains clas­si­fied as a miss­ing per­son in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

The TTPS said in­ves­ti­ga­tors are adopt­ing a wide and me­thod­i­cal ap­proach, in­clud­ing ex­am­i­na­tion of parental re­spon­si­bil­i­ty is­sues, with the child’s par­ents cur­rent­ly as­sist­ing po­lice with en­quiries.

Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice has di­rect­ed ad­di­tion­al re­sources to the case, in­clud­ing sup­port from the Child Pro­tec­tion Unit and the as­sign­ment of a le­gal of­fi­cer from Trinidad to strength­en the in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

How­ev­er, po­lice stressed that pub­lic com­men­tary and the cir­cu­la­tion of ma­te­r­i­al on­line could in­ter­fere with in­ves­tiga­tive ef­forts.

The TTPS warned that shar­ing in­for­ma­tion which may form part of the in­ves­ti­ga­tion, or has al­ready been pro­vid­ed to po­lice, could prej­u­dice the in­tegri­ty of the case.

Au­thor­i­ties are ap­peal­ing for any­one with in­for­ma­tion that could as­sist in lo­cat­ing An­ge­lo To­bias to con­tact the Scar­bor­ough Po­lice Sta­tion, call 555, 800-TIPS, or To­ba­go 211.

The TTPS said up­dates will be pro­vid­ed as soon as fur­ther ver­i­fied in­for­ma­tion be­comes avail­able.
