LAW enforcement officers will focus on 15 beaches to deal with illegal entry into Trinidad and Tobago.
This was revealed by National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds at a press conference at his office at Abercromby Street in Port-of-Spain on Sunday.
He said, “I have a list of 15 beaches that have become the subject of the professionals’ interest based on the intelligence that they been working on within recent times.
“Bearing in mind that there are many other possible ports of entry within out island state and given our limited resources, the intelligence is suggesting that these are the areas for the time being that should be in focus.”
Hinds did not reveal the names of the beaches.
Asked by AZPNews.com, if relaxing measures dealing with the closed borders due to Covid-19 was on the cards, Hinds said, that was a difficulty to answer.
He said, “That’s a difficult question to answer if only because I am not arbiter, or the decision maker simpliciter. I am not the only one. There is a committee including the health professionals and we have always been guided by what the health professionals tell us and it would be premature, it would it would be anticipatory, it would be imprudent for me to venture such a position.”
