Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander is calling on the public to allow law enforcement and the courts to carry out their work without interference, following the detention of businessman Dominic Hadeed and his wife.

The minister says no one should seek to direct police investigations or prosecutorial decisions, stressing that the courts are the proper place to determine guilt or innocence.

Alexander also addressed concerns over gang activity in Trinidad and Tobago, urging young people to abandon criminal lifestyles, while assuring that the Government is ready to support those seeking a second chance.
