Homes searched in Trinidad party boat probe
Two homes in Maraval which are occupied by businessman Adrian Scoon were searched yesterday by officers of the Western Division.
Scoon, the son of Trade Minister Paula GopeeScoon, is at the centre of an investigation in which police officers shut down a party on board the MV Ocean Pelican vessel on Boxing Day for allegedly operating contrary to the Public Health Ordinance.
Shortly after midday yesterday, officers arrived at Scoon’s residence at the La Rive townhouse complex in Maraval, where they executed a search warrant in Scoon’s presence. His attorneys, led by Kiel Taklalsingh, visited the home while over a dozen officers searched the home, police said.
The officers were searching for a special liquor licence which Scoon obtained to hold the event on the Ocean Pelican while it was docked at Chaguaramas.
