Arima Businessman Charged For Possession of Stolen Kia K2700 Van
An Arima businessman, charged in connection with a stolen vehicle investigation, is expected to appear in Court this week.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), Abede Chalmers, 35, was formally charged with possession of a stolen vehicle on Friday (19th September, 2025). He is scheduled to appear before a High Court Master on Monday (22nd September, 2025), to answer the charge.
The charge stems from an incident on 8th August, 2025, when Officers of the TTPS seized a white Kia K2700 van at Rainbow Trace, Felicity, Chaguanas. Subsequent enquiries revealed that the vehicle had been reported stolen during a robbery with violence incident on 17th February, 2025, at Upper Irvin Street, Petit Bourg, San Juan.
A suspect was arrested on 16th September, 2025, following extensive investigations. After consultation with the CID/CRO Legal Department, advice was given to proceed with the charge.
The investigation was spearheaded by Senior Superintendent Maharaj, Superintendent Pariman, Assistant Superintendent Narine, and directly supervised by Inspector Lazarus. The charge was laid by Corporal Fenton of the Stolen Vehicles Squad.
The TTPS said it “remains committed to combating vehicle-related crimes through intelligence-driven investigations and enforcement, and encourages members of the public to continue providing information that can aid in the recovery of stolen vehicles and the prosecution of offenders.”
