Kidnapper shot – 2 others held

Thursday, July 2 2009

SHORTLY after abducting a Trincity teenager, three kidnappers were arrested with one of them being shot by officers from the Northern Division Task Force on Tuesday. The search for a fourth suspect continued yesterday.

According to a police report, at about 2.50 pm on Tuesday, an 18-year-old youth was snatched by four men who were in a burgundy coloured Nissan Almera car along De La Marre Road in Trincity. Persons who saw the kidnapping, telephoned the police.

An all-points bulletin (APB) was issued and Northern Division Task Force officers led by Sgt Vetus Hernandez and including PCs Robert, Roopchand and Mitchell subsequently spotted the kidnappers’ car driving into a track in Windy Hill — a squatting community off the Arima Old Road.

The kidnappers sped off on seeing the police but subsequently crashed into a culvert.

The kidnappers came out firing their weapons on the officers who returned fire, hitting one of the criminals. In all, three suspects were held while the fourth managed to elude capture.

The kidnapped youth, it was discovered, was not in the car having been dropped off earlier in Hindustan, Arouca after paying the kidnappers a small sum of cash. The wounded suspect was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope where he was treated and remains warded under police guard. The three are all expected to be placed on Identification Parades in relation to several armed robberies.

The suspects are aged 23, 24 and 30 and all hail from Laventille.

Arouca CID detectives are spearheading investigations.
