Police have dismissed reports at least two people have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery incident in Old Jeshwang.
The Bourgi family of Old Jeshwang has been reeling after men allegedly numbering at least 20 and armed allegedly forced their way into their home on May 15 and allegedly stole at least 16 million dalasis.
And reports abounded on Saturday that two of the suspects have been arrested by police and that a mobile phone belonging to the suspects was retrieved from the scene.
Police spokesman Lamin Njie however told The Fatu Network Sunday: “I have checked with our panel investigating d Bourgi matter and the whole info about arrest of suspects and details seems to be some fake news or false information.
“Investigators are following up on leads and the public will be adequately informed about outcomes.”
