A multi-agency law enforcement operation has successfully rescued a 73-year-old woman following her violent abduction from a San Juan residence, resulting in the arrest of seven suspected migrants allegedly connected to an international kidnapping network. The incident, which transpired on Wednesday evening, culminated in a dramatic Coast Guard interception off Trinidad’s northern coastline. Senior officials from the North Eastern Division confirmed the safe recovery of Tara Poliah, who was forcibly taken from her Don Miguel Road home around 7:30 p.m. Commissioner of Police Allister Gueverro revealed that the criminal investigation triggered an immediate coordinated response across multiple security agencies. According to official statements, the perpetrators transported Poliah via a Nissan AD Wagon before transferring her to a marine vessel approximately at midnight, intending to transport her to Venezuelan waters. Their plans were thwarted when Coast Guard units intervened, securing the victim’s release and detaining all seven suspects aboard the vessel. Security footage obtained from Poliah’s residential garage documented the harrowing initial assault, showing one assailant in a black hat approaching from behind to cover her mouth while another, wearing a red hoodie, pressed an object resembling a weapon against her neck before forcing her into a waiting vehicle. Commissioner Gueverro emphasized that this operation has effectively disrupted a sophisticated cross-border criminal network, noting that Trinidad and Tobago police have been actively monitoring Venezuela-linked criminal operations. While investigation details regarding the tactical rescue remain classified, authorities continue searching for Cody Narine, another kidnapping victim from the Tyrico Bay area who remains missing since his abduction last week.
