Auction to get rid of over 700 wrecks at police graveyard in Cumuto
As many as 400 police vehicles, some of which are beyond repair, will be auctioned. - ROGER JACOB
The graveyard for derelict police vehicles lies just before the Cumuto army barracks.
Here, a total of 461 wrecked police vehicles, mostly Mitsubishi Lancers and Suzuki Grand Vitaras, waiting to be processed for an auction that the police hope will take place in August.
Police vehicles – cars, buses, vans, trucks and motorcycles – many of them covered in mildew and with no wheels or doors – line a four-acre space carved from 100 acres of land given to the police by the state. Cars date back as far as the PBC series, which was the registration number for June 1997 to January 1998.

Tobago police arrested three persons yesterday (Tuesday 22 December 2020) for possession of marijuana, in two separate incidents during an anti-crime exercise in the Courland Trace area in Shirvan.
Official police reports state that officers executed a search warrant around 3:50 am at a home in Black Rock, Tobago. During the search, a white crocus bag containing 440 grammes of dried, plant-like material resembling marijuana was found concealed in a cupboard.
The TTPS release confirms that JOICE SURREY was arrested and later charged for the offence.
