The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) Monday said that a 33-year-old national from the Dominican Republic had been arrested after an AR-15 rifle with 100 rounds of ammuntion had been found in a baby crib.
In a statement, the police said that the woman, whom it did not name, was arrested for possession of a firearm and ammunition, following an operation on Sunday.
According to the police, during the intelligence-led operation, officers of the Gang Unit and Arima Intelligence and Operations Team proceeded to the Cunupia district in central Trinidad where they conducted a search of a house.
“A female suspect who was in the house with a baby at the time of the exercise is alleged to have displayed suspicious behaviour and attempted to hide an object under a crib mattress.
The object was found to be an AR-15 rifle, loaded with a magazine, containing 100 rounds of 5.56 ammunition,” the police statement said, adding that the “woman was arrested in connection with the find”.
