The Ministry of National Security is offering a $75,000 reward to anyone who can provide information that will lead to the arrest and prosecution of persons responsible for the disappearance of a rifle from a Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) compound.
According to Police reports, around 1:00 PM on Saturday (3rd June 2023), an Officer attached to the Teteron Barracks, Chaguaramas, signed for a Galil assault rifle, which he received and subsequently secured. The Officer then left the Teteron compound and returned sometime later, when he discovered that the rifle was missing. Extensive checks were made; however, the weapon was not found. A report was subsequently made. A team of Officers from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) visited the scene at the Teteron compound, where several persons were interviewed. Speaking about the incident during a joint Press Conference at the Ministry of National Security in Port-of-Spain on Sunday, Acting Commanding Officer of the T&T Regiment, Lt. Col. Ashook Singh, said, “The Orderly Officer immediately conducted the standard operating procedures for such incidents and immediately confined Teteron Barracks and it remains confined at this point in time as we continue the investigations. The Orderly Officer also conducted an immediate search of the location and started a preliminary investigation and alerted her Commanding Officer earlier this morning [Sunday]. With the advent of more light, a thorough search was again conducted of the vicinity but the Galil assault rifle was not found.” He added, “Additionally, we would have alerted the Inter-agency Task Force [IATF] with regards to the missing weapon and we are currently working alongside them in terms of gathering further intelligence and information with regards to the missing rifle.” “The TTR sees this as a very serious incident and will continue to work alongside the TTPS to diligently find this assault rifle and bring the perpetrators to justice,” he said. Investigations are continuing. Anyone with information that can lead to the retrieval of the weapon and the arrest of the perpetrator(s) can call CRIME STOPPERS at 800-TIPS, 555 or the St. James Police Station at 622-3695.
