Teens Held As Guns And Ammo Found In Car

Two teenaged boys were among four people arrested in Morvant on Sunday after police intercepted a car and found two firearms and a quantity of ammunition inside.

According to information from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, North Eastern Division (NED) Task Force officers conducted Operation Resolute Shield between 11am and 3pm on September 13th, 2026, with special attention paid to the Morvant district, namely the Second Caledonia, Vegas, Cipriani Avenue, Chinapoo and Pitch Road areas.

During the operation, officers proceeded to a location in search of a red-coloured Hyundai vehicle which was believed to have been used in a robbery earlier that day.

Upon arrival, they observed the vehicle in question and also saw a brown-coloured Nissan Sentra with four occupants nearby.

The occupants and their vehicle were searched, and officers found and seized one Smith and Wesson revolver containing four rounds of .38 ammunition and one Beretta PX4 Pistol, fitted with one magazine containing 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition.

The items were seized, and two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, a 20-year-old man and a 33-year-old man, all of San Juan, were taken into custody.

Police also seized both vehicles as part of the ongoing investigation.

The exercise was spearheaded by W/Snr. Supt. Guy-Alleyne and Ag/Asp Taylor, coordinated by Ag/Insp Ramsingh and Sgt Martin, and supervised by Cpl Daneil.
