3 teenage robbery suspects held

Three robbery suspects were held during a manhunt earlier this week in the Western Division.

Between 5:30pm and 7pm on August 5th, a roadblock was set up in response to a robbery on Constabulary Street, Carenage.

The suspects were in a stolen Mitsubishi L300 panel van and silver Nissan B14 car.

Despite several attempts to bring the vehicles to a stop, both managed to evade capture, leading to a coordinated effort to intercept them.

The TTPS says PC Weekes and PC Jobity spotted the white panel van heading east in the vicinity of Goodwood Park, Glencoe, and gave chase.

They immediately radioed for assistance from additional units in the area.

Officers from the Western Division Task Force and the Western Division Criminal Investigations Department responded, leading to the eventual interception of the white van at the compound of Diego Martin Borough Corporation and the arrest of three 18-year-old suspects from the Laventille area.

In the vehicle they found a firearm, ammunition, and valuables belonging to the robbery victim.
