Air the tapes on public TV and open a special telephone hot line. Even if the Police investigators cannot recognize the culprits, give the public a chance as well, after all they are the ones that usually end up paying for mistakes like these. I never knew Trinidad and Tobago declared war on crime. When did this war start and who is winning? Lloyd C. Johnson, US Army Retired, Germany |

Perhaps just another scam to release guns into the community. Why were these weapons fully loaded? Why do security firms need "the most powerful weapons in the world?" and they are supervised by one woman guard on duty, and she recognizes the former employee? This is ridiculous. Whatever happened to checking whether a ackage was exopected? suppose it was an explosive device they were beringing in? thee hbve ben too many cases of people being tied up, then freeing themselves. My suspicion is that this firm is selling guns. My father was a gun owner, and he was required to keep his gun securely locked up, with the key aay from the gun cabinet. The police used to come to check the safety of his cabinet, before renewing his license. They came and took the gun away oon the day he died. this was in Arima,in 1971. What happened since then? firms can keep loaded guns in a drawe under a desk? This is ridiculous.
Real security would have had a picture of the two as they entered the premises
on camera. If these people ere in charge of my security, I would cancel their contract. This is a sick joke. |

Fifteen guns in circulation, well this could prove interesting. I had heard of corrupt police officer's renting uniforms before, I suspect this is the case here also. On the other brighter side of the coin this could be a sign that the availability of weapons in criminal circles WAS reduced, maybe by the recent police activity in eastern POS. All I can say is that it's gong to be a violent conclusion to the year, that figure of five-hundred will most likely be achieved now. The Police really need to step-up now. |

Lord there seems to be no hope for this country. Now they sure to reach that 500 mark by December 31st. How stupid of that security firm to have those guns so accessible.And to have a female security guard working behind a desk alone and surveillance cameras that don't even work right. What is going on? She didn't even ask for ID! Cant you see these criminals intend to keep on killing. They now have 15 more loaded weapons in their possession. They are planning something "big". Could be bank robberies, CHOGM, the Treasury. Something huge and horrible.Police officers interrogate everyone who was employed and is still working for that so called security agency. I'll be praying that the police recover these guns.Pleae get the Army, Coast Guard, citizens, everybody to fight this war against crime. God help Trinidad and Tobago. |

How much does it cost to securitise T&T per capita? The amount should include the police, the army, the coast guard, SAUTT, all private security firms and barricaded homes. Forget it, Mr Security Minister, you do not know! |

Whether 1 gun or 15 guns, that shows how witty the criminals are in T&T, that is if you can believe the story that they were stolen. I would more believe that they were sold. As usual, there will be no repercusions for this criminal act, regardless of who is responsible. What a corrupt society. |

Trinis know that there are crooks in the military who have access to police uniform etc. They are the only ones who are capable of conducting such an operation. Investigate the military first find out who was where at what time.... |

Let's all face the fact that it is possible that the perpetrator might indeed have been a police officer, given the alarming rise in the number of officers turning rogue by being involved in crime and corruption. Want to bet that these guns will never be recovered? |

By now we shouldn't have any more blocks or ground to loose. This is just another example of how TnT in general is lacking decipline, both in the private security sector farless the Judicial security sector. Ill trained, lack of decipline, ill equiped security in TnT. Those big belly police who patrol or those indeciplined guards at the hospital is the same thing. Society is very indeciplined and has no leaders. But we go fete better than we can fight-crime. |

i believe most criminals knows how to hide their faces from the camera, with wearing hats etc. cameras should be positioned to face ppl entering a building to get a clear head shot. |

As funny as that may sound in terms of the ease these criminals are committing their crime, in reality this is VERY serious. Not only are there 15 more guns available to these criminals, but now the integrity of the police (as shattered as it may be) has now been compromised even further, as people now will even more not trust the police for fear it may be a bandit in disguise. GET RID of Philbert. GET RID of Mr. Martin (or whom I call the Waste of Time Minister). Spend our tax dollars on good policing and policing tools and technologies that ACTUALLY work. All in all GET RID of this PNM government. PNM ... People No Matter. |

I'm sorry for the female security who got hit in the mouth but lucky to be alive. Now that is some weak security. The security management need to do over their S.O.P. because a place like that which I believe was thier HQ should of at three or more security and ID check is a must police or not weak security management. Criminals have 15 more guns commit crime. |

This a very sad situation. You must always ID people especially if they are sayiny that they are police officers. I hope that the "real" police continue their search for stolen guns and I hope the security officer can get through this situation okay. |

I have a question for the authorities...isn't this where we use the resources, the surveillance cameras that were recently set up so that they could identify and track the vehicle involved within a relatively short time of the incident and narrow down the escape route so that they could better direct other resources in the interdiction process. The multiple road blocks set up 60 minutes after the incident suggests that the police are clueless. Heaven help us innocent citizens |

Why was there only one guard on duty ? No one, including a "police" officer should have been allowed access of to the location where guns were stored.
Also, it is time for all police officers in T&T to have badges like in the United States, as well as display picture ID cards on their person. The use of holograms (which are difficult to implement without highly specialized equipment) on the ID cards will also help to prevent fakes being made. Both of these forms of identification will help to reduce incidents of police impersonation.
The old British habit of identifying police only by the uniform worn is antiquated and insufficient. |

I love my country its true but I don't think I want to read the papers for the rest of this year. Not with 15 more guns in criminals hands.This was an inside job.I keep wondering did they steal the guns to sell them or is it to use them. In either case somebody had a need for them and what else do you do with guns but kill people. That Security Company should lose their license. And its almost as if they set up that female guard. She was the only one behind the desk knowing that the guns were loaded and easily available. |

Beyond the obvious, why...

a)Were these guns stored loaded; they should be stored seperatly from the bullets;
b)Not locked up in either a safe or in a locked and barricaded gun rack;
c)are Police officers or anyone else allowed behind the counter to "drop something" - they couldn't leave it in front?;
d) did the security officer not question the validity of the drop off, or if her Supervisor or company owner knew anything about it. Does this company provide adequate training particularly about such a thing as standing or post orders? If there was to be an authorized drop-off, the person organizing it should have left a notation in the shift log. No note, no knowledge, no drop off.
3) Was the guard left alone with no backup in an office where guns are stored?
Someone impersonating a police officer could offer I.D. that looks valid enough to fool anyone but basic precautions would be enough to throw up quite a few roadblocks in getting to the guns.
Seems to me sometimes that anyone can set up a company, buy a few guns legitimately, hire a few warm bodies and voila...you have a new security guard company. Is there certification required or mandated training for these guards?
1st World country? Not in a million years at this rate...
