FORTY-four persons, including three soldiers and a police officer, are arrested at a “Zesser” party in La Horquetta on Sunday morning.
Based on information, officers responded to reports of a “Zesser” party in progress and went to Cordia Crescent, La Horquetta.
The soldiers are member of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF).
On arrival, the officers heard loud music and saw a large crowd which was in excess of the stipulated number in the Public Health Ordinance Regulations, put in place because of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Several persons ran away.
However, the officers were able to arrest 44 people. They were taken to the La Horquetta Police Station.
Police said they will be charged by summons and will appear at the Arima Magistrates’ Court on a date to be fixed.
The exercise was coordinated by Ag Insp Ward and conducted by PCs Tewarie, George, and WPC Gibson.
