Two teenage girls, aged 15 and 18, were arrested in a raid on a drug house at Melbourne Avenue, Balmoral Park, Chaguanas, on Monday night, where police found 49 kilogrammes of marijuana.
A 23-year-old man was also held and a warrant issued for the arrest of another man.
Police suspect that the marijuana, said to be worth an estimated $1.3 million, came from Venezuela and was being kept for shipment abroad.
The search was made at 6.30 p.m. and involved Senior Superintendent Rattan Singh, Inspector Peter Burke and Sgts Terrence Williams and Chris Hudlin.
The officers also found a .38 revolver and ten rounds of ammunition.
The three suspects will appear in court today, charged with drug trafficking and weapons offences.
The previous night, Central Division Task Force officers chased and stopped a car on the Uriah Butler Highway near the Divali Nagar site in Chaguanas, and arrested the driver.
In the back seat, he had two kilogrammes of cocaine worth an estimated $900,000. The silver Nissan Sentra was seized.
That night police, armed with a search warrant, also raided a house at Savannah Heights, off the Caroni Savannah Road, and found a room equipped to dissect, weigh and parcel drugs for retail.
And on Monday, Southern Division-based Guard and Emergency Branch and Crime Suppression Unit officers went into the forest off La Lune Village, Moruga, and destroyed several marijuana nurseries and plantations.
Police said the 20,000 trees had a value of about $150,000. The raid involved Inspector Bridgelal, and officers Gangar, Ramnarine, De Govia, Modeste and Singh.
