Police to probe Sunday’s Queen's Hall concert

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding video footage shared on social media of an event at Queen’s Hall, St Ann's, on Sunday night.

Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said in a release that the event had all the features of a Carnival band launch, and as far as he is concerned, the event was a public party.

He said,“While the event was carried on television and on social media, the video footage was quite clear that it showed numerous patrons inside Queen’s Hall.”

The release said Griffith intends to meet managers of Queen’s Hall as well as of Naparima Bowl, National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA) and the Southern Assembly for the Performing Arts (SAPA), as it was noticed that these four venues were open for business.

He once again reminded the public that it was an offence to hold public parties or fetes, under the public health regulations.
