A series of traffic operations in Chaguanas and Arima over the weekend led to multiple arrests and dozens of tickets being written.
From 9 pm on October 12th to 3 am on October 13th, officers conducted searches at Soogrim Trace and Nasaloo Ramayan Road, where around 300 people gathered at Heartland Plaza.
