In a significant crackdown on illegal activities, the South Western Division of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) conducted a successful Operation HELIOS over the weekend. The operation, which took place in the Erin district, led to the detention of eleven suspected Venezuelans, including one minor, and the seizure of substantial quantities of contraband. The exercise, carried out between 8 am on November 22 and 8 am the following day, involved collaboration between Task Force officers, the Erin police, the Canine Unit, and the Defence Force. Acting on intelligence, the officers targeted the Erin Beach Facility, where they discovered the group hiding in a bushy area. Subsequent searches along the shoreline uncovered 112 bottles of alcohol and various amounts of sausage and cheese. The Immigration Division has been notified, and investigations are currently underway. The operation was authorized by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Operations Suzette Martin, led by Senior Superintendent Thompson, and coordinated by Assistant Superintendents Corrie and Forbes.
