Four men and one woman charged with various offenses, T&T
Four men and one woman have been charged with various offences by officers of the Southern Division.
The charges were laid following an anti-crime exercise that targeted organized criminal gangs in San Fernando.
They were expected to appear virtually before a San Fernando magistrate yesterday to answer the charges.
The exercise was coordinated by Senior Supt Lucia Winchester and headed by ASP Ramdass and Insp. It also included officers of the Southern Division Task Force, Canine Branch, and the T&T Regiment.
The searches were conducted at Mt. Moriah, Wharton Street, Purcell Street, Vistabella, Embacadere, Flamboyant Avenue, Hibiscus Drive, Oleander Drive, and Pleasantville.
A police release said the five people arrested and charged with the various offences are:
Joshua Holford, 34, of Marabella, was arrested for possession of marijuana and charged by WPC Maxwell.
Emmanuel Hutchinson, 22, of Pleasantville, was arrested for possession of marijuana and charged by PC Edwards;
Raymond Thomas, 21, of San Fernando, was arrested for disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest and charged by PC Ramlochan.
Anthony Cyrus, 44, and Reshma Cyrus, 44, both of Corinth Hills, San Fernando, were arrested for cultivating 30 marijuana plants and were charged by PC Ferguson.
The officers then proceeded to Hibiscus Drive, Pleasantville, where they observed a man walking along the roadway.
On seeing the officers, the man dropped an object onto the roadway and ran off.
Checks of the area resulted in one Mac 10 firearm loaded with a magazine containing six rounds of ammunition being found.
Attempts to locate the suspect proved futile.
