No update from TTPS on suspects held in Deyalsingh robbery

There has been no official update from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service on the suspects arrested for the robbery of Health Minister Terrance Deyalsingh on September 17.

Deyalsingh was robbed of his gold bera – a traditional Indian-style gold bracelet – at gunpoint as he sat outside Nyahbinghi bar at the corner of King and Abercromby streets in St Joseph. Police valued the bera at $10,000.

DCP Martin, in a voice note that was embedded in a TTPS press release, warned those involved in robbing Deyalsingh to surrender since all efforts would be made to apprehend them.

On September 17, police said, the Inter-Agency Task Force received information and went to St Paul Street in East Port of Spain, where they saw a blue Hyundai Elantra (PDH 4667) that was involved in the robbery.

The car was intercepted and two suspects arrested and taken to the St Joseph Police Station.
