Three 15-year-old schoolboys from two schools in east Trinidad have been arrested for marijuana trafficking. Two were arrested on Tuesday at their school while the other was held by police at his school in Rio Claro. Police went to the schools in search of the suspects after receiving numerous reports that the teenagers were selling the illegal drug to fellow students as well as to some of their neighbours. The drugs were found hidden in the students’ schoolbags and shoes.
The boys were arrested and later charged with marijuana trafficking. In an unrelated incident, the police recovered a homemade shotgun and four rounds of ammunition at a house in Brazil. Acting on a tip-off, police found the weapon at New Lands Village in Brazil and arrested the two men who were in the house where the weapon was found. ASP Neville Sankar, Cpl Garcia and PC Hosein were involved in the exercise.
