THE United States Embassy in Port of Spain updates its security alert for its citizens in Trinidad and Tobago telling them to exercise caution as there was the potential for increased crime.
The security alert on Friday comes in the wake of the killing of four men in broad daylight along the Churchill Roosevelt Highway in St Augustine on Wednesday.
The embassy stated, “Criminal activity often occurs in crowded public locations such as markets, shopping malls, airports, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, transportation hubs, schools, and other areas.
“Due to recent increased gang activity in St. Augustine, U.S. Citizens are advised to exercise extreme caution in the St. Augustine areas of Trincity Mall, Trincity, Grand Bazaar, and Valsayn areas into the new year.”
Actions to Take:
· Exercise vigilance or avoid areas with heightened criminal activity.
· Review your personal security plans.
· Be aware of your surroundings.
· Monitor local media for updates.
