A major joint law enforcement operation in Trinidad and Tobago has resulted in six people being taken into custody, with two serving municipal police officers among the detainees, in connection with two linked criminal cases: the fatal killing of local resident Anuska Eversley and a daring theft of firearms from a police compound in the city of San Fernando.
Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) officials confirmed the breakdown of the suspects: two female civilians, two male civilians, and the two uniformed officers who are currently suspended pending investigation. The arrests were carried out in a series of coordinated overnight raids, developed through actionable intelligence and carried out by multiple specialized TTPS units. Participating teams included the San Fernando Criminal Investigations Department, the Special Branch national security unit, and the TTPS Special Investigations Unit, which handles high-profile and complex cases.
In a major breakthrough for the investigation, law enforcement has recovered the vast majority of the stolen weapon cache. Recovered items include 10 M&P pistols, 10 Glock 19 pistols, one Browning pistol, one Smith & Wesson pistol, and 612 rounds of 9mm ammunition, all described by police as a substantial portion of the total stolen arsenal.
TTPS Commissioner Allister Guevarro personally joined operational teams on the ground in the early hours of the operation, as the investigation reached a critical turning point. In an official statement released to the public, the TTPS noted that the probe remains active and is currently at a sensitive investigative stage. The service has given a public assurance that every available resource is being deployed to hold all responsible parties accountable for the linked crimes, and to see the investigation through to a successful conclusion.
