The Harbour Police Division successfully conducted a targeted operation at the Brima Attouga Mini Stadium on Tuesday, June 17, resulting in the arrest of Mohamed Serry and the recovery of cannabis.
The operation was led by ASP Francis M. Tommy. The police team responded to intelligence reports indicating that the stadium and its environs were being used for illegal drug activities.
During a thorough sweep of the area, officers further discovered several packages of dried leaves concealed within the makeshift structure of the suspect’s premises.
In a follow-up action held on Wednesday, June 18, the police dismantled the structure to disrupt ongoing illicit activities and deter potential drug dealers from operating in the area.
The seized dried leaves, believed to be Cannabis Sativa, have been secured for forensic analysis, while investigations into unlawful possession and distribution are ongoing.
The Sierra Leone Police have reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace and order, urging the public to continue providing credible information to combat drug abuse and related crimes in the community.
