Man With Cutlass Escalates Police Chase | Trinidad and Tobago News

At 4:45 AM in Mayaro, police responded to a trespassing report at Tucker Energy Services, where stolen copper cables were found hidden in bushes. Officers spotted a suspect matching the description—armed with a cutlass, backpack, and headlamp—and pursued him. After he resisted arrest, shoved an officer, and swung the weapon, striking the officer’s hand, the officer fired. The suspect fell down a steep hill and later died. An iguana, illegal during this season, was found on him. Officers suffered minor injuries; an autopsy has been ordered for the deceased, identified as Ricardo, and the investigation continues.
