CrimeWatch host Ian Alleyne this week exposed the faces of some men who were captured on a video as they stole equipment from the New Testament Church of God at Maitagual Street, Tunapuna, on June 3. One day after Alleyne aired the video, all of the suspects were arrested. Alleyne thanked the police attached to the Tunapuna station for their swift action in apprehending the suspects.
Also appearing on the programme was Tobagonian Lynroy Williams, who told Alleyne he had paid $18,000 for a vehicle to car dealer Richard Ramcharitar, of Arouca, since March 13, 2014, but was yet to receive it. After Williams’s appearance on Crimewatch, Alleyne met with Ramcharitar and Williams was refunded his money. Williams returned to the show and personally thanked Alleyne for his assistance.
The mothers of Hakeem and Tevin Alexander, Suzette Alexander and Lisa DeLeon Alexander also visited the set and pleaded with Alleyne to investigate the killing of their teenage sons, who were shot by members of the North Eastern Division Task Force at Chinapoo, Morvant, on Monday. In photographs they brought with them, the mothers demonstrated to Alleyne their interpretations of how their sons were shot.
In another photograph, Alleyne described for the viewers his interpretation of what he saw when viewing the bodies of Tevin and Hakeem at the Janel Funeral Home, San Juan. Alleyne also passed information to Insp Sahadeo and Cpl Budrie of Besson Street Police Station about two revolvers and a quantity of drugs that were found at Duncan Street, Port-of-Spain.
SUCCESSES
In another matter, Alleyne persuaded Jenny Sumasar, of Suchit Trace, Debe, to admit that she stole over $175,000 from her employer. After getting involved in the matter, Alleyne was able to recover $75,000 for the employer.
