Three men were ar­rest­ed when Cen­tral Po­lice Sta­tion (CPS) of­fi­cers on mo­bile pa­trol in the Port-of-Spain dis­trict man­aged to foil a rob­bery in progress at a pop­u­lar store on Char­lotte Street, on Sat­ur­day 7 No­vem­ber 2020.

Ac­cord­ing to of­fi­cial po­lice re­ports, of­fi­cers on mo­bile pa­trol re­ceived a call that a rob­bery was in progress on Char­lotte Street at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 2:40 pm on Sat­ur­day.

The of­fi­cers re­spond­ed im­me­di­ate­ly to the re­port, and al­so en­list­ed the as­sis­tance of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Fire Ser­vices (TTFS) to use of one of their ap­pli­ances, as the sus­pects were seen on the roof of the build­ing.

The TTPS re­lease ex­plains that once the fire truck ar­rived, po­lice of­fi­cers suc­cess­ful­ly climbed up the façade of the build­ing to the roof top and ap­pre­hend­ed the sus­pects.

The sus­pects were tak­en to CPS where charges were laid.

Three men were ar­rest­ed: a 54-year-old of River­side Plaza; a 33-year-old of Red Hill Road Ex­ten­sion, Mor­vant; and a 24-year-old of Sin­nette Dri­ve, Diego Mar­tin.

Po­lice of­fi­cers in­volved in the ex­er­cise in­clud­ed Cpls Collins and Fran­cis, along with PCs Charles, Creed, Bris­tol and WPC Mc Leod. Al­so on the crime scene were of­fi­cers at­tached to the In­ter Agency Task Force and Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
