One man was ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with mul­ti­ple of­fences, while a mag­a­zine and quan­ti­ties of nar­cotics were seized in the North East­ern and Port-of-Spain Di­vi­sions yes­ter­day.

Of­fi­cers con­duct­ed an ex­er­cise be­tween 2 pm and 8 pm, on Tues­day at the Bel­mont and El So­cor­ro dis­tricts.

At Hin­goo Lane, Don Miguel Road, they dis­cov­ered 3.4 kilo­grammes of cannabis, a quan­ti­ty of co­caine, one pis­tol mag­a­zine and 25 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion.

The of­fi­cers pro­ceed­ed to the Beetham Gar­dens area, in search of a male sus­pect due to re­ports of lar­ce­ny trick and rob­bery.

When of­fi­cers an­nounced their pres­ence at his house, the sus­pect ran off. He en­tered a neigh­bour’s house and was found hid­ing un­der a bed. The sus­pect was ar­rest­ed.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing in­to the above mat­ters.
