Commissioner of Police McDonald Jacob has responded to statements by the National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds that 108 legally-issued firearms were featured in criminal activity.
Hinds said this is an emerging problem in Trinidad and Tobago, and his ministry, through its law enforcement agencies, was working to bring those responsible to justice.
“The gangland thing is generating the majority of the killings, especially in the possession of automatic weapons, and we are now finding that legal weapons have emerged as a problem in TT.
Speaking this morning on the Power Breakfast Show on Power 102 Digital CoP Jacob said that 52 were stolen and ended up on the street while others were used in home invasions and other criminal activities.
