And so far, under the SOE several high powered weapons and drugs have been seized. The police claim they discovered them through intense interrogations - but that is a contested point and we'll have more on that later.
For now, Superintendent Jefferie Gabourel explained what the haul looked like.

"Based on the rigorous interview that was conducted with the individual at the team, the firearms were seized."
"Now these firearms will be packaged and forwarded to the National Forensic Lab for analysis to determine if it is connected to any other previous crime. Based on that, then the investigation will continue."

"So we might see charges brought against persons who may have handed up these weapons or led the police to where these weapons may have been hidden?"
Dr Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"There is a strong possibility that charges will be laid against certain individuals."
