Police arrested six men and recovered three stolen vehicles during separate operations this month.
"The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) continues to deliver decisive action against the rising threat of motor vehicle larceny through coordinated intelligence-led operations and proactive investigative work," the TTPS stated in a release Wednesday.
Police said in the Southern Division, two men were recently charged with receiving a stolen vehicle following a detailed investigation into the theft of a white Nissan Tiida, valued at $77,000, reported stolen from Cypress Ridge, Union Hall, on July 18, 2025.
"Acting swiftly under the direction of Senior Superintendent Simon and Superintendent Jaikaran, officers conducted a targeted operation that led to the arrest of two suspects from Marabella," the release stated.
Police said investigations are ongoing into a second vehicle theft in the same area, involving a Hyundai H100 panel van valued at $130,000, reported stolen on July 19 and officers are pursuing leads to recover that vehicle.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Division, a high-impact operation on July 29, 2025, led to the arrest of four suspects and the recovery of two stolen vehicles. Officers intercepted a black Toyota Corolla along Tamana Road, Talparo, revealing a fraudulent license plate linked to a different vehicle.
A silver Toyota Fielder Wagon, also reported stolen in the Cumuto district, was subsequently recovered during further surveillance. This operation was spearheaded by Senior Superintendent Maynard-Wilson, Superintendent Ettienne, and Assistant Superintendent Pitt, with operational execution by Inspector Gadar, Sergeant Persad, Corporal Foster, and the Northern Division Task Force – Area South.
