Limited State of Emergency....

High-powered weapons seized at Piarco

A major breakthrough in the recovery of very sophisticated weaponry has been made after the seizure of 5 high-powered guns shipped from Thailand.
 
The guns were discovered on Tuesday night by Customs at TTPost located near the Piarco International Airport.
 
Weapons experts said the extremely powerful guns are used in assassinations.
 
The Protective Services are said to be alarmed by the discovery of the guns. The make of which, they said, were never seen in this country.
 
Earlier on Wednesday, the Prime Minister boasted that there has been a 400% increase in the confiscation of guns since the introduction of the State of Emergency.

Every law enforcement effort made from now to the end will be used to justify the State of Emergency... never mind that this seizure by customs has nothing to do with it.  They extend the SoE so that they would have more things to attribute as "success" under it.  Simple as that.

I agree that they are padding the list with busts made incongruent to the SOE but if law enforcement actually seized guns then I'm more than happy about that.

I hope this is not like the story of a diesel filled bunker under scrap yards in the Beetham that appears to be rum talk.

That's not the issue... the issue is/are the shifting justifications for the State of Emergency.  If they are successful in the end in passing this off as a 'success' then it would become much easier for government (whether PP or PNM) to suspend civil liberties in future.  There must be a firm basis upon which this is done prior to the decision being made, rather than ex post facto rationalizations.

Some of the (probably unintended) results of the SOE so far have been an increased public awareness of the gang controlled drug trade. Some of the information made available (only a tiny percentage by the govt) has made us all realise the sheer size of the drug trade in T&T and its influence overseas. People are now aware that Mexicans, Russians, Chinese and Vietnamese drug gangs are operating here.

It seems the main effect achieved by the SOE is to make people aware exactly how bad crime is in T&T and how successive govts have been unable to deal with it. I believe this will have two effects. First, I think the public will support the SOE blindly out of fear. Even when innocents are wrongly arrested and detained, the public will not blink. Many see the work of Ian Alleyne as part of the SOE and Crimewatch is becoming a PR representative of the SOE and govt.

Second, every day, the govt is digging itself a deeper hole which means bigger better results are needed. Despite the 400% improvement on gun seizures fairy tale, people want to see big gun busts. Two rusty guns in a scrapyard doesn't fool anyone. The people want to see a cache, 20 or 30 weapons wrapped in grease paper, shiny and oiled in the roof of some business mans house. These rusty old guns are giveaways. You really going to war with a home made shotgun when you run a multi million drug gang?


I have mentioned before the Hollywood think tank created by US law enforcers, which includes Quentin Tarantino and Tom Clancy. They devise plots based on facts supplied by law enforcers. Once they have created a scenario, the lawmen go off and investigate if this scenario is actually happening. This was borne from the fact that several novels, including one by Clancy, saw planes crashing into Washington BEFORE 9/11.
So, on the basis that we don't have Clancy & Tarantino, heres my offering:

A government in a Caribbean nation is losing control. Police and public services threatening to bring the country to its knees. Crime at an all time high and no discernable plans in place to reduce it. Gangs happy to conduct murders in broad daylight. Corruption with law agencies means the big fish never arrested. Corruption in all levels of public services including the cabinet. Internal political pressure on a splintering coalition government. Gross mismanagement of government funds leading to the requirement to double government borrowing and incur debt of over $25 billion. Top line businessmen and politicians controlling or involved in financing drug trade. Removal of anti crime initiatives such as the aerial counter intelligence, offshore patrol boats, specialised CIA style task forces, allows greater ease of trafficking.

A massive drug turf war is looming.  Mexican drug lords plan to take over the drug trade from Colombians. The Mexican drug lords have weight with senior police union officials and push then to disrupt the police service. The public will become outraged, particularly if the gangs are planning to wage this war once the police go on strike. The Colombian drug lords have weight with senior cabinet officials and urge them to curb the police strike threat. They offer up a large cocaine shipment and conduct some public murders to escalate fears.

Key cartel supporters inside government advise cabinet to go to state of emergency. Once this happens, the drug war is curtailed and the Mexicans temporarily thwarted. In order to ensure the SOE is extended, low level gang members are sacrificed and information on worthless weapons and fall guys is passed via a tv crime show.

Once the SOE is extended, there is a significant reduction in arrest levels and gun & drug seizures. The Mexicans cannot move their drugs in sufficient quantities and its just too hot to continue, so they pull out of the country and look for another new market to control. The Jamaican market is still not yet realigned after the Dudas arrest, but the govt there is looking to stabilise the trade and will entertain the Mexicans.

Despite the "success" of the SOE, the public still demand a big fish, so a top black businessman is provided as a scapegoat by the bosses of ethnic cartels. The SOE ends, the government have averted a crisis and award the police a 6% pay rise as they saved the country from the gangs. The murder rate falls as there is no longer a turf war and the local Colombian fed gangs have drawn a truce with clear territorial demarcation to avoid turf wars.

Now, this is just fiction, but when you start to write these things down, it does make you wonder. The Hollywood think tank does exactly this. Except, of course, the law enforcement agencies would actually investigate the possibility of the above.

HUNT FOR DRUG LORD

The packages of cocaine, worth $22 million, that were found in two suitcases at the Piarco International Airport on August 16 have been traced to a man, in New York, who is now being sought by the United States (US) Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) working alongside officers of this country’s Organised Crime Narcotics and Firearms Bureau (OCNFB).

A manhunt is now on for the man who fled his apartment on hearing that the $22 million cocaine had been seized in Trinidad and Tobago. His nationality is unknown.

The man’s name appeared on the computer-generated name tags attached to the two suitcases which he was supposed to pick up at the JFK International Airport in New York, at about 3 am, on August 17.

US authorities were contacted through Interpol for assistance in locating the man and searched his apartment in New York but he had already fled. The US authorities have described the man as a suspected drug dealer with links to Colombia, and believe that he is still in the US.

A source at the OCNFB told Newsday yesterday that local officers are close to making a major breakthrough in the local investigation surrounding the seizure of the cocaine at Piarco.

Following the arrest of a 19-year-old Service Air employee, who was charged for trafficking of the cocaine, an investigation was carried out by OCNFB officers who viewed tapes from the airport. The footage showed the Service Air employee was not at his computer terminal at the time the two suitcases were tagged.

The computer was checked by police officers who discovered that the two suitcases were tagged in the name of the man who was supposed to pick up the drugs at the JFK airport.

Officers have said it is possible that someone used the computer to tag the two suitcases unknown to the Service Air employee, who has sworn his innocence to his attorneys.

Up to yesterday, the accused remained incarcerated at the Remand Section of the Golden Grove Prison in Arouca. Intelligence sources based in the US have revealed that the drugs seized at Piarco originated in Colombia and a thriving drug trade exists between Colombia, Trinidad and the United States.

A DEA officer told Newsday that drugs amounting to millions of US dollars pass through Trinidad on a daily basis en route to North American cities.

The officer said that persons working at airports and other ports of entry are paid as little as $2,500 to clear baggage containing drugs which are then shipped or flown to the US.

Newsday understands that the drugs seized at Piarco belonged to a Colombian who has sent his associates to Trinidad to deal with a local drug lord with Mexican links, who reportedly tipped off the police about the cocaine at Piarco. This information is believed to have prompted the state of emergency by Government who believed that the decision averted a major crisis involving warring gangs.

Yesterday, police officers from intelligence agencies carried out searches throughout the country for persons believed to be associated with the Colombian and Mexican drug lords.

Those persons are believed to be responsible for bringing in millions of dollars worth of drugs into this country for export to other countries.

I would guess that the 19 year old is paid a liitle change to take a 10 minute break but not lock his terminal.That way, if he's caught, he knows nothing. My question is, if they have tapes that show he wasn't there at the time, why don't they have tapes to show who was there?

Of course, the reason is that airport security is also involved and the cameras were switched off while the info was entered. So, it should be simple to check the date stamp on the entry and ascertain who was manning the camera control centre at that time. But, of course, that guy too, will have been taking a comfort break, with plenty of witnesses.

We can summise that this shipment was not the first to pass through Piarco, so there must be a nest of people in the pay of the drug men at the airport. Its funny, but Piarco workers not only work through the hours of curfew, but they also get curfew passes. This must be a great time to fly drugs out of the country with all the police in Laventille & Beetham!

[NYtriniwhiteboy..]

I hope this is not like the story of a diesel filled bunker under scrap yards in the Beetham that appears to be rum talk.

Last night they showed the location of it on TV6

err clue mih in, what would the diesel be used for?

and how come tv6 alone does get all these big scoops.

Dutty cuz of the cheap price of diesel and gas to locals it have big big business to store it and then put it in barrels and sell it to yachties and foreign fishing boats and even the large pleasure boats. They charge more than the usual price here but still plenty cheaper than what you get further up the islands.
That's why whenever trinis going to fishing tourneys up the islands they fill up barrels before they go and store them at the tournament docks to make sure they have cheap fuel to use to come back and don't have to buy the expensive fuel where every they may be.

Let's say this is the absolute truth. Why was this hidden for so long and, if a crisis was averted where are the arrests of the associated gangs ?

Black market price for stolen diesel: $2.5M
Thursday 8th September, 2011
 
The Acting Comptroller of Customs, Mr Anthony Chandler, has confirmed that the stolen diesel found in an abandoned scrap yard and in a derelict Taiwanese trawler off Sea Lots on August 23rd, amounted to 90,000 gallons and would have sold on the black market for $TT2.5 million.
 
Speaking at the Post Cabinet Media Briefing, Mr Chandler said the diesel was found on a Sea Lots compound which also doubles as a scrap metal business place.
 
"When the officers got there, they found several containers of fuel. They were contained in over 100 IBC tanks, those are the plastic tanks enclosed in a metal frame, each containing about 1,000 litres, that's about 250 gallons. In addition, there was a truck on the compound fitted with a diesel tank with 500 gallons of fuel. But the main find was just to the shoreline, where a derelict vessel, a discarded Taiwanese trawler, which was in fact being cut up as scrap to be exported. This process was apparently aborted for a different type of business and it was used in the storage tanks that were under the deck of that vessel. Those were the ballast tanks and cold storage tanks which would have been used to store a cache when those trawlers would have gone out. They were now converted into storage tanks and they contained approximately 60,000 gallons of diesel fuel."
 
Mr Chandler said several persons were arrested and the investigation is ongoing into the planned exportation of the fuel.
 
He also outlined the high price this combined 90,000 gallons of fuel would have fetched on the market: "With a value of just over TT$600,000, and that is at the subsidised price. I am advised that this would have sold on the black market at US$1.75 a gallon which will net something in the vicinity of TT$2.5 million to those persons who are engaged in that illegal trade."

Rifles found at TTPost identified as Panther AR-15s
Thursday 8th September, 2011
 
The Acting Comptroller of Customs, Mr Anthony Chandler, has confirmed that the 5 high-powered rifles found at TTPost were in fact Panther AR-15s.
 
Officers made the discovery on Tuesday as they scanned packages for export. Images relayed through the scanners indicated that the rifles were disassembled.
 
Mr Chandler said, "When this package was opened, we discovered 5 new dis-assembled Panther Rifles, AR-15. They are calibrated to carry .38, Winchester, or 7.62 rounds of ammunition. The package originally came into Trinidad and Tobago on 8th of August from the United States and it was addressed to a person in Thailand. We are still investigating both local and internationally, how these packages ended up in Trinidad."
 
In addition to the army and the Organisation of Narcotics and Firearms Bureau's involvement in the investigation, the Acting Comptroller of Customs stated the FBI and US Customs are also pursuing the matter.
 
He said not only were US and TT laws violated, but there are other international violations including one relative to the Postal Services.
