Also in the maxi-taxi was a plainclothes police constable, who was part of a team of officers detailed to investigate a spate of maxi-taxi robberies along the Arima to Port of Spain route.

Police shoot bandits in Arima

A DARING early-morning robbery at the home of radio personality Ken Simmonds ended abruptly for two bandits yesterday after they were both shot and wounded by police.
Up to late yesterday evening, the two men, who were said to be from Tobago and Arima, were warded under police guard at Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope.
Simmonds told the Express during a telephone interview he was still traumatised over the incident, but was also thankful to the police for their quick response, which resulted in the bandits being taken into custody.
He said shortly after 1 a.m. he arrived at his Nettoville, Arima home and was about to retrieve some garbage for disposal when he was greeted by a gun-wielding bandit at the front door.
Simmonds said another bandit soon approached before they both tied him up and placed him in one of the bedrooms, before noisily ransacking the house.
Neighbours who heard the commotion contacted a senior police officer attached to the Northern Division, who in turn alerted officers of the Arima Criminal Investigations Department (CID) who were on patrol in the area, said Simmonds.
"The police responded in a matter of minutes," he said.
When they arrived on the scene, Simmonds said the officers saw the gun-wielding bandit reversing the family's car loaded with electronic items, cash and jewelry out of the garage.
However, upon spotting the officers, he pointed his gun at them and attempted to escape by running into the house but was shot in the ankle.
Upon entering the house, Simmonds said the officers came upon the second bandit, who held a cutlass to the neck of his wife and vowed to kill her if they came any closer.
"When his (the bandit) guard was down, one of the officers saw the opportunity and shot him to the chest," said Simmonds.
Both men were taken to the Arima District Hospital, where they were treated and later transferred to the EWMSC. The firearm and cutlass were also recovered by the officers.
Simmonds said he wanted to publicly thank the officers for their quick response and the professionalism which they used in carrying out their duties.
Arima CID officers are continuing enquiries into the incident.

A THIEF shot himself in the head while robbing passengers in a taxi he hijacked in Chaguanas yesterday afternoon.
Abraham Bourne, 25, of Crown Trace, Enterprise, died seated next to two female passengers.
His body was identified at the scene by his mother, Glenda Bourne, and wife, Whitney Mayers, both of Enterprise.
The shooting occurred around 12.15 p.m.
Police were told that Bourne got into the back seat of a "PH" taxi driven by a 37-year-old man of Couva.
The driver's wife occupied the front passenger seat.
The driver told police he picked up Bourne at Southern Main Road, Couva, and the two female passengers at Southern Main Road, Chase Village.
The driver said when he neared the traffic light intersection near Factory Road, Chaguanas, Bourne pulled a gun and announced a hold-up.
He ordered the driver to park roadside and he pulled up near a Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission sub-station at Ramsaran Street.
Police were told Bourne robbed the two female passengers of cash, jewelry and other valuables, but when he turned the gun to the driver's wife, the driver pulled a knife.
The driver and thief began fighting and the gun discharged, police were told.
The thief was shot through the forehead.
A team of police officers led by Senior Superintendent of the Central Division Deodath Dulalchan, Superintendent Johnny Abraham and Inspector Wayne Lawrence visited the scene.
Police recovered a gun.
