Commissioner of Police Erla Harewood-Christopher has commended the efforts of the officers in the Tobago Division for a significant breakthrough in the fight against narcotics and firearm trafficking.
The CoP stated, “This operation, which resulted in the seizure of over TT$42 million in illegal narcotics, marked a major milestone in addressing crime in Tobago. I applaud ACP Oswain Subero and Snr. Supt. Ellie for their effective leadership, which has bolstered the Tobago Division’s operational capabilities.”
She added, “While some have erroneously viewed Tobago as a ‘soft target’ and the ideal place to conduct their criminal activities, we are responding with a resounding “no” to this notion. This operation is a testament to the dedication of our officers and their resolve to disrupt criminal enterprises. The TTPS is making meaningful inroads into the crime landscape in Tobago, and we remain committed to ensuring the safety and security of both residents and visitors.”
This latest achievement reflects the TTPS’s ongoing mission to uphold the rule of law and protect the people of Trinidad and Tobago. The CoP assures the public that all available resources will continue to be utilized to combat crime and enhance public safety.
The two suspects, one from Marabella and the other from Buccoo, remain in police custody as investigations continue.
