An investigation has been launched after a Councillor from the Sangre Grande Regional Corporation drew his licensed firearm on a Municipal Police Officer during an altercation near the Guaico traffic lights on Thursday morning (25th April, 2024). The Councillor‘s firearm has since been seized by Police.
According to reports, the Municipal Police Officer was on his way to work, around 7:00 AM, when an alleged ‘bad drive’ escalated into an argument between the Councillor and himself. The councillor was said to be exiting a minor road and driving onto a major road while the Municipal Police Officer was passing, near the Guaico traffic lights. While both men were arguing from their vehicles, the Municipal Police Officer exited his vehicle and began approaching the Councillor. At that point, the Councillor said he became fearful for his life and drew his licensed firearm. The Municipal Police Officer reported the incident to Officers of the Sangre Grande Eastern Operational Centre, who located the Councillor and had a conversation with him. He was then taken to the Sangre Grande Police Station, where statements from both men were recorded. Police have seized the Councillor’s firearm until investigations into the matter have been completed. Chairman of the Sangre Grande Regional Corporation, Kenwyn Phillip, said he immediately tried to contact the Councillor upon hearing about the incident, but was unsuccessful. Investigations are continuing. More on this as it becomes available. [Source: T&T Guardian] We are a small operation.
