Officers of the Inter Agency Task Force believe they may have prevented a murder from happening, after they arrested a well known member of the Unruly Isis gang on Friday night.
According to a police report, at about 11 pm the officers, acting on information received, intercepted a vehicle travelling along Pierre Road in Charlieville, Chaguanas. Its occupant, said to be in his 30s, was arrested after officers found a Glock 22 pistol with an extended magazine, 26 rounds of ammunition and a ski mask in his possession.
The man was taken to the Chaguanas Police Station and was still there last night assisting police in their investigations.
The T&T Guardian was told that the man is also wanted in connection with several other gun-related offences.
Investigations are continuing.
