The T&T Coast Guard is working with police after a shootout on the waters in Sea Lots on Friday night.

Its statement comes a day after the Energy Ministry said individuals attempted to board a support vessel at the wreck site of the Gulfstream barge.

The Coast Guard says, when confronted, there was a brief exchange of gunfire before the intruders fled the scene.

It assures that none of the Coast Guard members were injured during the incident and the TTCG is continuing to assist the TTPS.
