Law enforcement in Trinidad and Tobago has successfully apprehended a Jamaican fugitive wanted for multiple serious crimes. According to the Jamaica Observer, the arrest of Dockery Courtney Radcliffe came after the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service received an Interpol Red Notice—an international alert requesting the location and provisional arrest of a person pending extradition.
The operation was conducted on Tuesday across several hours, involving officers from the Criminal Investigation Department, Criminal Records Office, Immigration Investigations Unit, and Anti-Kidnapping Unit. Radcliffe was found at a location on Cumuto Road in Barrackpore and taken into custody.
Radcliffe faces charges in Jamaica for robbery with aggravation, rape, grievous sexual assault, and abduction. He remains in police custody in Trinidad and Tobago, where immigration authorities are expected to process him as extradition proceedings move forward. The Interpol Red Notice system, which coordinates law enforcement agencies worldwide, proved instrumental in locating the suspect across international borders.
An Interpol Red Notice is a formal request issued by law enforcement to locate and provisionally arrest individuals pending extradition or similar legal action. The system enables cooperation between police agencies across multiple countries to apprehend fugitives fleeing jurisdiction.
This case highlights the regional security cooperation between Caribbean nations and the role of international law enforcement mechanisms in addressing serious crime across island territories. The arrest demonstrates how Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica work together through Interpol to pursue justice for victims of violent offences.
