Res­i­dents of Salazar Trace, Point Fortin, ap­pre­hend­ed two rob­bery sus­pects over the week­end af­ter their neigh­bour raised the alarm.

Around 3:10 am on Sat­ur­day, the vic­tim re­port­ed­ly saw two men re­move a chain­saw from be­neath his house. He im­me­di­ate­ly called out for help, prompt­ing sev­er­al neigh­bours to re­spond and pur­sue the sus­pects in­to near­by bush­es.

The res­i­dents man­aged to catch the two men and hand­ed them over to of­fi­cers at the Point Fortin Po­lice Sta­tion. Po­lice ar­rest­ed both sus­pects—two 24-year-old men from Fyz­abad—in con­nec­tion with the lar­ce­ny re­port.

In a sep­a­rate case, a Moru­ga man ap­peared be­fore the Princes Town Mag­is­trates’ Court on firearm and am­mu­ni­tion charges.

Za­ckarie Sharpe, al­so known as ‘Small­ie’, of Rock Riv­er, was charged with pos­ses­sion of firearm and pos­ses­sion of am­mu­ni­tion. Mag­is­trate Singh-Phillip grant­ed him bail in the sum of $200,000 with a sure­ty. He is ex­pect­ed to reap­pear in court on Mon­day.
