Police arrested three men and recovered three vehicles, including two luxury cars, during an intelligence-led operation in Cunupia. Between 3:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on June 3rd, 2026, officers of the Home
Invasion Team, Multi-Operational Police Service (MOPS), and the Anti-Extortion Unit conducted an intelligence-led exercise in the Central Division.
Acting on information relating to firearms, ammunition, and stolen vehicles, officers proceeded to an address along Chin Chin Road, Cunupia. There, they met a 26-year-old resident of the address, another 26-year-old man from the same address, and a 28-year-old man of Cutbutt Circular, Diego Martin, and informed them of their intention to conduct a search.
A comprehensive search of the premises was conducted; however, no illegal firearms were found. Officers then turned their attention to three vehicles on the property and informed the men of their intention to inspect them. The officers then sought to verify the registration plates of a black BMW, a red BMW, and a white Nissan Sylphy through the South and Central Operations Centre.
Checks revealed that the registration plates did not correspond with the vehicles to which they were affixed.
Based on these findings, officers had reasonable cause to suspect that the vehicles were stolen and possibly being used in the commission of criminal activity.
The three men were arrested, and the vehicles were seized and conveyed to the Cunupia Police Station pending further investigations. The exercise was coordinated by ACP Criminal Division Richard Smith and
Ag. ASP St. Clair, with field supervision provided by Ag. Sgt Singh.
