Three women and a man who were caught at a par­ty, have been charged with breach of the cur­few, while 29 oth­ers who were in the same par­ty, will be charged by way of sum­mons.

An of­fi­cial state­ment from the Po­lice Ser­vice says the four ap­peared be­fore Mag­is­trate Am­i­na De­onar­i­nesingh at the San Fer­nan­do Mag­is­trates’ Court where they plead­ed not guilty. The man was de­nied bail, while the three women each were grant­ed bail in the sum of $2,000 with a sure­ty.

The mat­ter was ad­journed to Sep­tem­ber 21st.

Ac­cord­ing to the Po­lice Ser­vice, con­cerned res­i­dents of Ninth Street, Gopaul Lands, Mara­bel­la, con­tact­ed the Mara­bel­la Po­lice Sta­tion and alert­ed them to the sit­u­a­tion in the area.  Of­fi­cers of that sta­tion, along with their col­leagues from the San Fer­nan­do Task Force and the St Mar­garet’s Po­lice Sta­tion (un­der the co­or­di­na­tion of Snr Supt Lu­cia Win­ches­ter and ASP Ram­dass), con­duct­ed an ex­er­cise at Ninth Street, Mara­bel­la, at 11:30 pm on Sep­tem­ber 14th.

At the lo­ca­tion, the of­fi­cers re­port­ed­ly found that a par­ty was in progress with 33 per­sons on the com­pound play­ing mu­sic, smok­ing, danc­ing and swim­ming in a pool.

Those per­sons were de­tained and tak­en to Mara­bel­la Po­lice Sta­tion. Four of them sub­se­quent­ly were charged with breach of the cur­few, and the oth­ers are to be pros­e­cut­ed for the of­fences by virtue of sum­mons.
