One man was arrested and a firearm with ammunition seized during an intelligence-led operation in the central division on Monday.
Around 5:00 pm, officers of the Central Division Task Force, Area North, together with members of the Trinidad and Tobago Regiment, proceeded to Devinish Hill, along Caparo Valley Brasso Road, Tabaquite.
There, they entered a vegetated area off the roadway and trekked approximately 100 metres into the wooded area. While searching a bamboo patch, the team discovered a black 12-gauge shotgun wrapped in a black piece of cloth, along with three rounds of 12-gauge ammunition. The items were seized, and investigations are continuing.
Earlier in the exercise, officers also conducted a search at Petersfield, Chaguanas, where they found a quantity of cocaine in the possession of a 22-year-old man from Dularie Street, Felicity. He was arrested and the drugs seized.
