Sixty-five (65) persons were charged after Officers of the Coastal and Riverine Patrol Unit (CRPU) intercepted a ‘party boat’ at sea on Monday 3rd January 2022.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), around 11pm on Sunday 2nd January 2022, members of the CRPU embarked on an operation in the Western Peninsular. The team maintained surveillance while at Alcan Bay, Chaguaramas, during which time they observed several vehicles entering the area. The Officers observed both adult males and females exiting from the vehicles while dressed in what appeared to be clothing for a party. The said persons then boarded a pirogue at different intervals which was making trips to an unknown location at sea. Police later observed a white 44-square-foot catamaran boat, sailing West of Pt. Gourde with a large group of persons onboard being served drinks and dancing to music. The Captain of the vessel was instructed to stop. Officers then went aboard the vessel, which was then taken to the Coast Guard Headquarters at Staubles Bay. With the assistance of the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard personnel, a search of the vessel was conducted, where sixty-five (65) persons were discovered onboard. Also, in a stairwell compartment, a Sig Sauer pistol fitted with a magazine containing ten (10) rounds of 9-millimetre ammunition was seized. All persons onboard the vessel were conveyed to the Carenage Police Station, where they were interviewed and released pending further investigations. The TTPS notes that, having conducted further investigations, all sixty-five (65) persons were charged with breach of gathering in excess of ten (10) persons, contrary to the Public Health Ordinance Regulations 2021. The Captain of the vessel, along with a female suspect, were also charged for holding a public party contrary to Regulation 4(1) (b) of the Public Health Ordinance Regulation 2021, Section (3). Further instructions were received to charge all sixty-five (65) persons by way of summons. Investigations are continuing into the matter. We are a small operation.
