Two men were arrested on Tuesday evening following a police response to a robbery report. Officers PC Plaza and PC McIntosh were on mobile patrol along Rushworth Street, San Fernando when they received a wireless report of a robbery involving a silver Nissan Bluebird believed to be in the Palmiste area. Upon entering Brash Boulevard around 5:20 p.m., PC Plaza observed a vehicle matching the description parked near a picnic site with two men standing nearby. When questioned, the men claimed they had stopped to smoke, but as officers exited their vehicles, the suspects picked up black plastic bags and fled on foot into a bushy area. A chase ensued with PC McIntosh, Cpl Clarence, and PC Ramroop pursuing and apprehending both men. Police recovered the black plastic bags containing cash and a firearm marked 'FNJ 40.'
