THE arrests of two people for possession of Covid-19 vaccination cards are just the tip of a raging national racket, according to senior police sources.
The police held a man and a woman and fake vaccination cards.
Two weeks earlier, Terry Garib, a former PNM local government election candidate, was arrested and charged with forgery of immunisation cards with intent to deceive.
In late July, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said several files pertaining to bogus vaccine cards were on the way to the police.
The relevant law carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison.
The racket is said to be widespread and involves several racketeers.
The police anticipate several other arrests over the next few weeks.
