On April 9, 2024, federal agents from the Embassy of the United States representing the United States Marshal Service (USMS), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), working closely with units from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service Southern Division (TTPS), facilitated the arrest of Farzan Mohammed, a U.S. citizen fugitive wanted in the state of Pennsylvania for numerous counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, sexual abuse, rape, and child pornography.
The subject was arrested in the Princes Town area of Trinidad on a Provisional Arrest Warrant (PAW), and will be held in custody as the extradition process is finalized for his eventual return to the United States to face justice for his alleged crimes.
U.S. federal agents worked closely with TTPS in coordination and planning to arrest the subject.
U.S. Ambassador Candace Bond said, “The level of cooperation between U.S. federal law enforcement agencies, the U.S. Department of Justice, TTPS, and the Office of The Attorney General for Trinidad and Tobago, to arrest this fugitive was unprecedented. I am so proud of the work we accomplish together with our partners in Trinidad and Tobago law enforcement. The cooperation and partnership on executing this arrest exemplifies the continued and productive relationship between Trinidad and Tobago and the United States in advancing citizen security and rule of law.”
