Two American citizens wanted on drug trafficking charges in the United States were deported yesterday following a joint operation in the Southern Division.
The 33-year-old man and 27-year-old woman had been held on Tuesday at Arjoonsingh Drive, Palmiste, where they were living illegally.
Guardian Media understands that between 11 am and 4 pm on Friday, they were escorted to Piarco International Airport and placed on a U.S.-bound flight, where they were handed over to American authorities.
The exercise was part of an ongoing initiative targeting international fugitives.
It involved officers of the Southern Division Task Force and Gang Unit, intelligence agencies, Immigration personnel, and agents of the U.S. Embassy.
