In further attempts at curbing crime in The Gambia, the Police Anti-Crime Unit has managed to recover six stolen motorcycles, several car batteries and flat screen televisions.
The items were stolen by two 19-year old young men identified as Gibril Badjie also known as ‘Biggie’, and Ahmad Tijan Baldeh also known as ‘Gully’.
At a news conference held at Police Anti-Crime in Bijilo, the PRO of police Lamin Njie pointed out that after holding the culprits in custody, vigorous investigations leading all the way to the U.R.R (Upper River Region) were conducted and the evidence gathered pointed directly towards the named culprits forcing them to confess to the crime of stealing the items.
He went on to urge the general public not to hesitate as far as sharing information with the police anti-crime unit is concerned.
PRO Njie also shed light on the fact that the members of the general public should be extra vigilant about purchasing stolen goods, reiterating that all the necessary background information on goods to be bought should be of absolute legitimacy.
He continued that the act of purchasing stolen goods or properties is ‘very well’ punishable by the laws governing our nation.
