THREE men have been arrested for a robbery at the Suarez Brothers Circus at Endeavour Avenue in Chaguanas on October 29.
The men ages 20 to 32, of Claxton Bay were held in what the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) stated was part of an intelligence-led operation conducted in the Chaguanas district between 6.15 pm and 10.15 pm on Sunday.
In a release on Sunday, the TTPS stated that during the exercise, officers of the Chaguanas Criminal Investigations Department held the men.
Around 8.10 pm on October 29, as the owner of the Circus was preparing to pay employees at the back of the business, a white Nissan B15 drove onto the premises and four armed men emerged from the vehicle, announcing the robbery.
The owner, identified as victim #1, was forced to surrender $30,000 in cash, along with his passport and other personal documents. Victim #2 suffered several blows to the body and was robbed of $2,300, while victim #3 lost $500 in cash.
The assailants quickly fled the scene, heading north on Endeavour Avenue in their vehicle.
