In the most recent development following a shocking fatal attack and mass arms theft at a Trinidad and Tobago municipal police station, four on-duty officers who were working alongside murdered acting corporal Anuska Eversley have resumed their active assignments. Sources confirmed to local outlet the Express that the four constables returned to their posts at the San Fernando Municipal Police Station this week, more than six months after the brutal incident that upended the service.
The unprecedented attack unfolded in the overnight hours of April 18, when 41-year-old Eversley — a 17-year veteran of the Trinidad and Tobago Municipal Police Service (TTMPS) — was beaten and strangled by attackers who stormed the station. Her body was discovered in the station’s charge room at King’s Wharf, Lady Hailes Avenue in San Fernando in the early morning of April 19. After killing Eversley, the perpetrators emptied the station’s armoury, stealing a massive cache of 123 firearms and more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the four constables who were on shift with Eversley that night were placed on suspension as investigators conducted mandatory internal and criminal probes. To date, law enforcement has recovered an unspecified portion of the stolen weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and three suspects have been arrested and arraigned in connection with Eversley’s murder and the arms heist. The accused include TTMPS constable Jivan “Bigs” Cooper, 20-year-old construction worker Kwame Arnold, and 24-year-old scrap iron dealer Nicholas “Nico” Ramdass, all residents of Claxton Bay. The three suspects face a long list of charges, including illegal possession of 114 pistols, one revolver, six shotguns, two MPX sub-machine guns, 173 firearm magazines with intent to traffic, and possession of 4,355 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 30 rounds of 12-gauge ammunition, and ten rounds of .38 ammunition.
The broader criminal investigation into the heist remains active, as senior investigators work to trace the dozens of missing weapons and rounds of ammunition that authorities believe have already been distributed to local criminal networks. Senior law enforcement sources confirm that investigative teams are continuing extensive interviews and forensic work to unpack the full scope of the attack and any potential broader complicity within the police service.
Alongside the return of the four rank-and-file constables, the ongoing administrative fallout from the incident continues: former TTMPS head ACP Surrendra Sagramsingh remains on administrative leave, with Assistant Commissioner of Police Wayne Mystar still serving as the service’s interim leader following Sagramsingh’s removal. San Fernando Municipal Police Station Superintendent Dustan Renn, who is currently suspended, is expected to have his suspension lifted in the near future, according to sources close to the process.
The brazen attack on a fully operational police station — which left a veteran officer dead and put hundreds of lethal weapons into the hands of criminals — sparked widespread public outcry and triggered major questions about gaps in internal security protocols, infrastructure oversight, and accountability across the TTMPS. The return of the four constables marks the first major step toward restoring regular operations at the San Fernando station in the months following the tragedy.
