Police
arrested 11 men at Dan Kelly Village, Picton, Laventille,
during a raid late Friday night, after they found guns,
ammunition and camouflage clothing.
Three of the men were suspected of robbing and terrorising
students at schools in the Laventille area for the past
two months.
One of the men was held on outstanding warrants.
Police reports state the men were found with a .357 revolver,
a 9 mm pistol, 57 live rounds of ammunition, as well as
a camouflage uniform.
The exercise started around 10 pm and ended around 7 am
yesterday.
The raid was headed by Sgt Sahadeo Singh and included officers
from the Besson Street CID Inter-Agency Task Force, Port-of-Spain
Divisional Task Force and soldiers.
Students of the Laventille Vocational Technology Centre
and students of the Success/Laventille Composite School
were said to have been victims of robberies for the past
two months.
The police are calling on the robbery victims to come to
the Besson Street Police Station to identify the suspects
and to claim a quantity of cellphones which were seized
from the men.
Police said last Thursday three students and one teacher
were robbed outside the secondary school compound in open
view.
