Within a mere thirty-six hours of being entrusted with the keys to their new patrol vehicles, the vigilant officers of the North Central Division’s Praedial Larceny Squad wasted no time in hitting the streets to combat crime. Last evening, their presence was felt as they embarked on dedicated anti-crime operations.
During these proactive exercises, the PLS team acted swiftly upon receiving intelligence about stolen agricultural produce being illicitly peddled by a vendor at the Tunapuna Market. The officers wasted no time and swiftly descended upon the market to investigate further.
Here is a breakdown of the events that unfolded:
- The team engaged the vendor in questioning, demanding a valid account of how she came to possess the suspicious goods.
- Failing to provide a credible explanation, the vendor was promptly apprehended and escorted to the Tunapuna Police Station.
- Subsequently, she was charged and is slated to make an appearance before the Tunapuna Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
This incident serves as a stern reminder to all vendors operating within the area or elsewhere. The Praedial Larceny Squad underscores the importance of complying with the law regarding the procurement and sale of goods. Any individual found incapable of producing the necessary documentation or providing a lawful account of the origins of their merchandise is in violation of the law and may face severe penalties, including fines or imprisonment.
It is imperative for all vendors to familiarize themselves with the legal requirements and to conduct their business activities ethically and transparently. By adhering to proper procedures, vendors not only protect themselves from legal repercussions but also contribute to the overall safety and security of the community.
Let this incident serve as a cautionary tale, prompting all vendors to uphold the principles of honesty and integrity in their operations. In doing so, we can collectively work towards a safer and more law-abiding society.
