– Immigration Officer, JP ensnared

Trinidad Express – Police believe they have disrupted a major sex ring in the country following the arrest of 15 nationals of Dominica and Guyana.
The detainees, 11 females and a male from Dominica, and four women from Guyana, were held by North Eastern Division Task Force officers at three apartments in Cunupia, Enterprise, Chaguanas and Curepe on Thursday.
According to police, Task Force officers led by Supt John Daniel, Sgt Roger Alexander, Acting Sgt Cornelius Samuel and Cpl Sunil Bharath, acting on information, raided the apartments between 11:00hrs and 16:00hrs.
Police said after they detained the suspects and examined their passports, it was discovered that they had overstayed their time in the country.
Officers added that the male Dominican detainee, who attempted to flee from the Curepe apartment after the property was surrounded, was identified as one of the ‘pimps’ responsible for sourcing and bringing the women into the country to be used as prostitutes.
A police source told the Express that after the women were taken to the Immigration Department in Port of Spain, they were told of a scheme involving a particular Immigration officer and a Justice of the Peace who facilitated the women who overstayed their time in the country.
The passports of all the detainees, police said, had the signature of that particular Immigration officer when the detainees were granted previous extensions on their stay in the country.
Up to late Thursday the detainees were being interviewed and processed by Immigration officers to be deported to their homeland.
Task Force officers are also expected to interview the owners of the apartments in which the immigrants were held.
Also involved in the exercise were PCs Franktom, Celestin, Joseph, Mahabir and Forbes of the Task Force.
