Mem­bers of the In­ter-Agency Task Force re­cov­ered an il­le­gal firearm dur­ing an an­ti-crime ex­er­cise con­duct­ed in the Port of Spain Dis­trict, dur­ing the pe­ri­od 8:00 pm on Sat­ur­day 23rd and 12:30 am on Sun­day 24th May, 2020.

Ac­cord­ing to of­fi­cial po­lice re­ports, tar­get ar­eas of the an­ti-crime ex­er­cise in­clud­ed So­gren Trace, Choco­late Al­ley, Gon­za­les, Fa­ti­ma Trace, St. Barbs, Trou Macaque, and Block 22.

Re­ports are that while on du­ty, the of­fi­cers re­ceived in­for­ma­tion and pro­ceed­ed to Men­tor Al­ley in Laven­tille.

They re­port­ed­ly saw a man who looked in their di­rec­tion, took out a green piece of cloth from a bag and threw it on­to the road­way. The sus­pect then ran off. The of­fi­cers gave chase, but the sus­pect es­caped.

When the of­fi­cers re­trieved the green piece of cloth from the road­way, they dis­cov­ered that it was a ski mask, which con­tained a sil­ver and black Smith and Wes­son pis­tol, fit­ted with a mag­a­zine con­tain­ing four rounds of 9 mm am­mu­ni­tion.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
