One man was held as police recovered a vehicle that was reported stolen 16 years ago.

During an exercise conducted yesterday in the Southern Division, police and licensing officers went to the PTSC compound in Golconda, where they questioned a 52-year-old man.

The man was the owner of a green Toyota Fielder wagon, which was inspected and subsequently identified as vehicle stolen during a Robbery with Aggravation incident in St. Joseph in 2008.

The man and the vehicle were taken to the Stolen Vehicles Squad Office in Port of Spain and investigations are ongoing.
