Two men were held shortly after an off-duty policeman was shot dead in Penal on Monday morning.
Police said PC Zaid Mohammed was killed at Katwaroo Trace, Penal, sometime before 10 am.
Residents heard the gunshots and called the police.
Officers from the South Western Division Operational Command Centre sent a broadcast, and officers on patrol saw a car matching the description of the getaway car in San Fernando. The car was intercepted and two Princes Town men, one of them the son of a top-ranking policeman, were held.
The car was searched and a Glock 17 pistol was found under one of the front seats.
Investigators said Mohammed was on leave for some time before his death.
Speaking with Newsday on Monday, Snr Supt Richard Smith of the Southern Division said the police had intensified its activities because of some murders over the weekend, and this is what enabled them to hold the suspects within a very short time.
