Police arrested a 19-year-old man and seized two firearms along with ammunition during an intelligence-led operation in Point Fortin on Saturday, October 11, 2025.
At 3:15 p.m., officers acting on information about an armed man in the School Road, Cap-de-Ville area observed the suspect near a white concrete structure.

Officers recovered the object, a Glock 17 pistol with a magazine containing 17 rounds of 9mm ammunition, leading to his arrest for possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Later that evening, at 9:15 p.m., officers accompanied the suspect to his Lawrenceville Road residence and conducted a search under the Emergency Powers Regulations. In a bedroom, they found a wooden and metal firearm containing one round of 7.62mm ammunition, along with five 12-gauge cartridges.
