Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The 500 grammes is described only as cannabis found in a brown package; no laboratory confirmation or street value was published.
The report says no arrests were reported up to the time of its release and gives no later update, so no one is known to have been held or charged.
Police gave no further description of the firearm, such as its make, calibre or serial number.
The shed and fruit stalls are identified only by road names, so the map point marks Valencia rather than the exact structure.
The page photo has no caption, credit or alt text, so it is not confirmed to show this seizure and is not listed as media.
Only the Trinidad Guardian account of the police release could be opened; the TTPS statement and other outlets' copies could not be opened to add independent detail.
