San Fernando lawyer arrested

Wilston Campbell, 74, was confronted by the police shortly before 8 am while he was preparing to go to the High Court.

He was served with a warrant and police officers began their search. After about three hours of searching and questioning Campbell, the police led him out of his office. An attorney for 40 years, Campbell was held around the left arm by a policeman while the rest of them walked behind him from the nearby Court Street, past the Traffic Court to the San Fernando Police Headquarters building.

Campbell was up to late yesterday being questioned about some documents which were seized from his office.
