On Tuesday 7 July 2020, the police marched over 14 suspects, after their arrest for various violations of the law including larceny and burglary.

Police Spokesman Superintendent Lamin Njie, said, among the individuals arrested is one Babucarr Camara alias Ratty. A one time beneficiary of the presidential pardon. Mr. Njie described Ratty as one of the regular visitors of the unit due to his crime rate. “Reason for this is because he is all the time involved in house breaking and stealing and today the flat screens you have seen here, about two or three of them are being recovered from this individual,” Njie told reporters at the anti-crime unit at Bijilo.

“Also we have another individual among them called Assan Conteh. He is also very notorious for house breaking and stealing and so in recent times he’s been arrested for robbing somebody with violence.” He added.

Some of the stolen items include; eight flat-screen TVs, one gas cooker, one solar panel and two vehicles respectively.
