A coordinated multi-agency police operation in Trinidad and Tobago has disrupted a group known informally as the “Tall Boots Crew,” which authorities say is linked to a string of home invasion incidents across Central Trinidad.
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) said the group is believed to have operated in areas including Cunupia, Las Lomas, Chaguanas, Freeport, and Longdenville over the past several weeks. Investigators estimate the suspects are connected to approximately 24 reported home invasions across the Central Division and nearby communities.
The operation was carried out on May 2, 2026, involving units from the Home Invasion Team (HIT), Central Division Criminal Investigations Department, Central Division Task Force, Guard and Emergency Branch, Canine Unit, and the Inter Agency Task Force.
Police said the exercise resulted in the arrest of two suspects. Four other individuals were fatally wounded during separate confrontations with responding officers.
The deceased have been identified as Mikhail Guiseppe of Waterhole, Cocorite; Davion Guiseppe, 30, of Lee Trace, North Cunupia; Kevin John; and one additional male whose identity has not yet been confirmed.
Authorities said investigations remain ongoing and are at a sensitive stage, with further updates expected once operational considerations allow.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Richard Smith said the TTPS remains focused on dismantling criminal groups responsible for violent crime and home invasions, adding that such operations are part of broader efforts to restore public safety in affected communities.
