OROPUNE GARDENS is still struggling to find peace. There are areas in the east Trinidad residential community that continue to grapple with crime, although some parts are reporting a turnaround.
In 2019, Sunday Newsday reported on the crime surge that had been highlighted by former journalist Colleen Holder.
Since then, the community came together and working with the Police Youth Club crime went down. Except in one spot – a place that s now known as China Town. It s on the north western end of the community, nearest to the Churchill Roosevelt Highway.
