Police officers on routine patrol have arrested a female suspect in possession of 107 wraps of suspected kush at Talia Torgboma Village in the Kenema District.
Hawa Bockarie was taken into custody on Tuesday, 17th February 2026, following a lawful stop and search conducted by officers on duty in the area, according to a statement from the Sierra Leone Police Media East.
The operation was carried out by D/Sgt. 9612 Massaquoi A.Y., D/PC 14932 Joseph R.N., and D/PC 19300 Vandi B.M., whose coordinated efforts led to the safe arrest of the suspect and the recovery of the exhibits without incident.
Upon discovery, the suspected wraps of kush were immediately secured and documented in line with standard police procedures for evidential purposes.
Bockarie has since been conveyed to the Kenema police station, where she remains in lawful custody assisting with investigations. Police officials confirmed that the recovered exhibits will be subjected to further examination, and upon completion of investigations, the suspect will be charged in court accordingly.
The Sierra Leone Police reaffirmed that the arrest underscores their commitment to intensifying efforts against drug-related crimes and protecting communities from the dangers associated with illicit substances across all thirteen chiefdoms in the Kenema Division.
