Roland Surajdeen charged with possession of firearm – TTPS

TWO men are expected to appear before an Arima Magistrate charged with the possession of several firearms.

On August 28, Dane Maraj, 38, of Timberland Park D’Abadie and Roland Surajdeen, 47, of Palmiste, San Fernando were in a white Mercedes Benz driving along the northbound lane of the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway, near the Brian Lara Cricket Academy when police stopped and searched the car during a road traffic exercises.

While searching the vehicle, the officers allegedly found a gun.

Further enquiries led officers to the suspect’s home, where they executed a search warrant at Maraj’s home where they recovered 40 rounds of nine-millimetre ammunition.

When police then executed a search warrant Surajdeen’s home they found a large cache of firearms, ammunition, and firearm components, namely slides and barrels.

Both men were arrested and charged on August 31.

Snr Supt Wayne Mystar, head of the Traffic and Highway Patrol said he was pleased that the new grid system is affecting the seizure of illegal firearms, narcotics and the arrest of criminals.

He added that he expects more success in the upcoming months as the new grid system is expanded throughout the country.

Meanwhile, police also arrested a Penal teenager after he was found with a 38 Special Revolver, containing three rounds of .38 special ammunition.

During a search at the home, police found the gun hidden under a pile of clothes, wrapped in a jacket. The 17-year-old boy was arrested and taken to the Oropouche Police Station.

Additionally, during a roving and house search exercise conducted in the North Central, Northern and North Eastern Divisions, between the hours of 11 pm and 5 am on Wednesday police got information on a one Rossi .38 Revolver with five rounds of .38 special ammunition, and one transparent plastic wrapping containing 190 grams of marijuana hidden near a dumpster at Roble Street, Morvant.

No one has been arrested in connection with this discovery.

Investigations are ongoing.

One hundred local craft artisans were featured in the first Independence Day Craft Market at Adam’s Smith Square, Woodbrook, Port of Spain on Wednesday.

Craft Hub TT hosted the event to develop the craft sector and maximise the commercialisation of craft.

Business development manager of Export Centres Company Ltd Sa’Nia Carasquero told to Newsday during the event, “This is to provide them with opportunities for growth and to sell their products. So in celebration of the 60th year of independence, we decided to celebrate by featuring 60 craft collectives.

“Initially, when we were planning the event, we wanted 60 artisans for the 60th anniversary but the response has been so overwhelming that we had to expand the market.”

The well-attended event featured craft markets from the Emancipation Village, Drag Brothers, the Cottage, South Market 868 and others.

Port-au-Prince croule sous les d?tritus

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

Ces derniers mois, des piles d’immondices sont constat?es un peu partout ? Port-au-Prince. M?me la commune de Delmas, r?put?e propre par rapport aux autres communes de la r?gion m?tropolitaine, croule aussi sous les d?tritus. ? Delmas 5, au dos de l’?glise St-Yves, des piles d’immondices occupent une bonne partie de la chauss?e depuis plusieurs jours. Les camions de ramassage de d?chets ne sont pas remarqu?s.

Le centre-ville de Port-au-Prince, jadis poumon ?conomique du pays, est transform? en un v?ritable d?potoir de d?tritus. Les rares venelles qui ne sont pas encore prises d’assaut par les bandits, notamment des pans de la grand’rue, des rues du Centre et des Casernes, croulent sous le poids des immondices. Un amoncellement de boue, de r?cipients en plastique, d’assiettes en styrofoam et d’autres carcasses sont remarqu?s dans les parages de la biblioth?que de Saint-Louis de Gonzague et la biblioth?que nationale. Ce m?me tableau orne l’angle de la grand’rue et de la rue Pav?e, ? quelques encablures de la Banque de la R?publique d’Ha?ti. L’H?pital de l’Universit? d’?tat d’Ha?ti (HUEH), le stade Sylvio Cator ont eux aussi droit ? des piles de d?tritus comme carte postale.

La situation n’est pas diff?rente dans d’autres secteurs de la r?gion m?tropolitaine. Les immondices sont omnipr?sentes. Les rues sont tr?s sales. Le Service national de gestion et de collecte de r?sidus solides (SNGRS) est aux abonn?s absents. Au cours d’une entrevue accord?e ? la matinale de Magik 9, le ministre de l’Environnement, James Cadet, ministre de tutelle du SNGRS, a r?v?l? que les institutions n’ont pas le mat?riel n?cessaire pour intervenir. Le ministre a ?voqu? la n?cessit? d’une synergie entre le SNGRS, le Centre national des ?quipements (CNE) et d’autres structures gouvernementales afin de relever le d?fi pos? par les d?tritus dans la capitale.

Le ministre a par ailleurs soulign? la probl?matique des sites de d?charge des d?chets comme facteur de l’insalubrit? constat?e dans les rues. <>, a fait remarquer James Cadet.

Nouvelle journ?e de manifestation ? Jacmel

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

Un policier bless? au menton par un jet de bouteille. cinq manifestants appr?hend?s c’est le bilan de la troisi?me journ?e de manifestation de cette semaine ? Jacmel. La singularit? de cette journ?e de manifestation est le nombre extraordinaire de participants, pour la plupart, des jeunes.

Ayant d?marr? ? l’ancienne station d’essence Shell, l? o? ordinairement la mairie ?rige le stand officiel lors du traditionnel carnaval de Jacmel, la manifestation de ce 31 ao?t a parcouru les art?res principales du centre-ville de Jacmel et des banlieues en r?clamant du gouvernement en place le respect des droits fondamentaux du peuple, entre autres, les droits ? la s?curit?, ? l’?lectricit? et ? la nutrition.

Durant les six heures, les manifestants ont gard? leur calme, exig? la fermeture des portes de toutes les banques de Jacmel, et de l’administration du centre semi-autonome d’?lectricit? de Jacmel.

Ils ont ?galement critiqu? la police qui se mobilise pour prot?ger les biens de seulement deux familles de Jacmel. Ce qui a engendr? des agressions verbales d’une patrouille de police cantonn?e ? l’a?rodrome de Jacmel vis-?-vis de la presse, qui, selon cette patrouille, incite les manifestants ? agresser la police. Accusation d?mentie par les journalistes du Sud-Est. Les manifestants se donnent rendez-vous ce jeudi 1er septembre pour une autre journ?e de revendications

L’alignement des ?toiles va-t-il servir le pays ?

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Le Nouvelliste

Il y a une conjonction de nouvelles, de situations, de prises de positions qui mettent pour une fois le pays et m?me le gouvernement Henry en situation de faire des r?formes. Ce qui va se passer ou pas dans les prochains jours nous renseignera sur l’avenir?

En renvoyant la rentr?e des classes de septembre ? octobre, le gouvernement prolonge les vacances mais aussi se donne une bouff?e d’air. Surprise !!! Personne ne d?sirait ardemment la rentr?e des classes en septembre, ni parents ni ?l?ves ne la souhaitaient, les directeurs d’?cole ne la croyaient pas possible. Ce mois suppl?mentaire devrait ?tre mis ? profit par les autorit?s pour changer de cap. Si l’?cole n’a pas pu ouvrir, c’est de leur faute.

Toutes les nouvelles ne sont pas mauvaises en ce mois d’ao?t 2022, la police nationale n’a jamais ?t? aussi pr?sente depuis des ann?es. Elle m?ne des op?rations et reste un corps. Une institution.

Pour la premi?re fois depuis des ann?es, les services de l’administration des douanes donnent des r?sultats. Il y a des saisies, des arrestations et les recettes collect?es augmentent.

L’Unit? de lutte contre la corruption, dans un ?lan rare, a publi? des rapports d’enqu?te sur des cas pr?sum?s de corruption dans l’administration publique et circulent des listes d’?lus (personne n’a tout vu pour l’instant) qui sont en contravention avec la loi sur les d?clarations de patrimoine. Des pr?tres arr?t?s, des directeurs g?n?raux poursuivis, des parlementaires index?s, le m?me mois, c’est aussi une grande surprise.

Tout aussi rare, le commissaire du gouvernement a donn? suite aux recommandations de l’ULCC dans la m?me semaine et a mis l’action publique en mouvement. Si les observateurs s’interrogent sur les capacit?s r?elles de la justice de faire son travail dans de bonnes conditions, les apparences sont sauves.

M?me si on peut trouver incompr?hensibles des d?cisions de la Banque de la R?publique d’Ha?ti, les trouver contestables et contre productives, le r?gulateur tient son r?le et n’est pas contest? par ses sujets. Le syst?me financier tient encore sur pied.

Parmi les ?toiles align?es, il y a ces saisies d’armes et de munitions en Ha?ti et en Floride -principal pourvoyeur de mat?riels de mort vers Ha?ti- en ce mois d’ao?t. Les douanes ha?tiennes vont collaborer avec les douanes am?ricaines et une agence de l’Onu pour am?liorer les performances et la surveillance des fronti?res et points d’entr?e.

En ce mois d’ao?t aussi, Ha?ti a enfin obtenu le permis d’exportation attendu du Canada pour les v?hicules blind?s de transport de troupes attendus depuis des mois. Cette premi?re commande, quand elle arrivera enfin ? destination, peut ouvrir la porte pour un renforcement g?n?ral de la Police nationale d’Ha?ti. On esp?re aussi, une utilisation visible des millions annonc?s par la communaut? internationale qui garnissent le panier commun mis en place mais dont la r?alit? concr?te pour Ha?ti se fait attendre pour le moment.

Dans le m?me temps, des hommes d’affaires et des associations patronales ont reconnu que l’Etat ne per?oit pas tout ce qui lui est d? en mati?re douani?re et fiscale. Ces importateurs et commer?ants ont donn? carte blanche aux services concern?s pour les taxer et pour taxer tout le monde. Ils sont soutenus dans leur d?marche par des entrepreneurs dominicains, pays partie prenante de la contrebande qui d?truit Ha?ti.

M?me si on ignore jusqu’? quand cela va durer, la chute de la gourde sur le march? local s’est estomp?e. Les prix ne sont pas encore ajust?s ? la baisse mais il y a un mince espoir

A force de courir apr?s un plein d’essence, de ne pas pouvoir vaquer ? leurs occupations faute de carburant ou de devoir payer jusqu’? 3500 gourdes le gallon de carburant, la population, encore une fois pendant le r?gne du premier ministre Ariel Henry, prendrait pour une aubaine une augmentation mod?r?e des prix ? la pompe si cela leur permet de faire le plein dans se faire racketter.

Comme tout ne peut pas ?tre facile, ce mois d’ao?t est aussi celui des premi?res manifestations antigouvernementales. Celui des premiers d?c?s pour la d?fense des droits de la population et celui qui souligne plus que les mois pass?s un ras le bol g?n?ral.

En ce mois d’ao?t, il y a des dangers, des perspectives, des pistes et des opportunit?s ? saisir.

En d’autres temps, Georges Anglade avait ?crit <> pour le mouvement Lavalas naissant, le pays, avec l’actuel gouvernement ou une ?quipe remodel?e, doit se d?cider ? traduire les possibilit?s en r?alit?s.

Girlfriend killed as brothers targeted by gunmen

Michelle Alexander, mother of Jevon and Brandon Joseph speaks to Newsday at her home in La Canoa, Santa Cruz on Wednesday. – Sureash Cholai

THE mother of two men targeted by gunmen grieved at her La Canoa Road, lower Santa Cruz home for a woman who was shot and killed in the crossfire after gunmen stormed her son’s home on Wednesday morning.

Police said Ashley Morris, 28, was at the home of her boyfriend, Brandon Joseph, at around 7 am when she heard noises outside and went to check.

Gunmen shot her multiple times before going to look for Joseph.

Joseph managed to escape with one gunshot wound to his right leg.

Morris was pronounced dead on the scene and Joseph was taken to the hospital where he remains in a stable condition.

On Tuesday, Joseph’s brother Jevon, a 26-year-old gardener was killed by gunmen as he walked near Cakes Land, La Canoa Road, around 2.15 pm. He was shot several times.

A DMO pronounced him dead on the scene and his body was taken to the Forensic Sciences Centre for an autopsy. Investigations are ongoing.

When Newsday visited the area the men’s mother Michelle Alexander sat on a concrete step of her porch, holding her head as she was being consoled by two other relatives.

She could not think of a reason why anyone would target her sons.

“When they killed the first one I was in a mess. I haven’t slept yet so I was up when I hear the gunshot this morning. The first person that came to my mind was my other son and right away my belly locked and burned.

“But they could have let that girl go. If they had something with my sons they could trash it out with them, but that girl was innocent. I want to know why they would kill a woman like this. Killing the girl was not called for.”

Morris had been in a relationship with Joseph for three months and recently moved in with him.

“I have to ask the people who do this: ‘Why? Why kill the innocent girl?’ She got caught up in the crossfire but that should not happen. Is it that you didn’t want any witnesses? I watch this woman go in front of my eyes. I am a woman. All I will say to the people that do this is: how you make your bed is how you will lay down.”

She has left the murder of her first son in God’s hands.

“This is the life we live in. Life will go on but I would say this: the crime situation is a mess. People will get tired of the bloodshed and start to riot. This is not under control.

Another relative of the men, who did not want to be named, believes he will be the next target but has decided not to go into hiding.

“When his (Joseph’s) brother got killed I spoke to him and his girlfriend and we planned to have a lime to cheer up his mother for Independence Day.

The man, who lives a stone’s throw away from the Josephs, said, on his way to the house, he heard gunshots and ran back home.

“They shoot them up for a whole half-an-hour. When it finished, I meet him (Brandon) come down on the track and I take him. And the police and ambulance came and rushed him to the hospital.

“I don’t understand why someone would do this, but all three of us move together and I feel I’m next and I don’t know why.

The men are originally from Port of Spain but moved to Santa Cruz to move away from criminal elements and influence.

The relative said “The brother that got killed was warned not to go up by Cakes Land because of the reputation of the area but he still went to check a friend. As soon as he left, got killed on the road.

The relative has no faith the police can arrest the perpetrators.

“They can’t protect me. I asked them if they plan to do more patrols, because I feeling uneasy now, and they told me they would try their best. They told my family not to sleep up here tonight but I’m not going anywhere because I still have to stick around because my aunt (Michelle) is still there.”

The father of one said his mother would take care of his daughter if he was targeted next.

“It has nothing I could do but protect myself, stay off the road and keep my eyes open.”
