More police eyes, ears in Enterprise

On Friday, when Sylvan Alexis was shot dead, police officers were taken from every station in Central Division to quell lawlessness and fiery rioting which ensued.

Fire officers were also called to the area to remove burning debris while officers of the Defence Force arrived. The presence of police on Friday resulted in the seizure of three pistols, two army camouflage vests and a quantity of marijuana and ammunition.

Police maintained a heavy presence in the area of John Street on Saturday but on Sunday, shortly after 6 am, a 36-year-old man identified as Marvin Alan of Caroni Savannah Road, Chaguanas was gunned down at John Street in Enterprise. Once again additional police resources were placed in the area.

Police yesterday blamed members of the Unruly Isis gang for the murders of Alexis and Alan.

They believe a ‘war’ between the Unruly Isis known as Bopee and a faction comprising associates of “Robocop” is responsible for the chaos and bloody mayhem in Enterprise.

Yesterday, Assistant Commissioner of Police Surujdeen Persad, who is in charge of Central Division, said the police will be working around the clock using additional resources and utilising up to date surveillance technique to ensure law and order in Enterprise.
