Plans are in motion to enhance the police presence on the recently commissioned Mandela Avenue to Eccles Four Lane Thoroughfare and its surroundings, as two police outposts are soon expected to be placed at both ends of the highway.

 

This was confirmed by Deputy Commissioner ‘Operations’ (ag) Ravindradat Budhram who, along with Commander of Region 4’A’, Assistant Commissioner Simon McBean, visited the area yesterday afternoon to identify potential areas where the outposts can be placed.

 

A release from the police said it is expected that one of the outposts will be placed about 400 metres away from the Mandela Avenue Roundabout (eastern lane heading to Eccles), while the other one will be placed the same distance away from the turn that leads to the highway from Eccles (western lane heading to G/town).
