Police deny Basse armed robbery

Police have denied any claim an armed robbery took place in Basse.

Reports abounded on Sunday of armed robbers striking at Basse and carting away D200,000.

But police said: “Information circulating on social media platforms that armed robbers attacked Basse and ran away with millions of Dalasis is false and unfounded.

“The Inspector General’s Office wishes to inform the public that it has not received any report of armed robbery within Basse and the entire URR.

“The public, particularly social media users, are urged to verify facts before spreading information that may be misleading to the public.”
