Police Rescues Crew Members After Helicopter Crash-Land in Freetown

The Waterloo Police division, under the leadership of the Commissioner of the Law Enforcement and Crime Services Department (LUC CSP) Mr. Ibrahim M. Sama, carried out a heroic rescue operation on Saturday 5th August 2023 as they successfully saved two crew members of a helicopter that crash-landed at Mashehwureh Village, located approximately 15 miles away from central Waterloo.

The ill-fated helicopter, carrying a British citizen and a South African national, was en route from Monrovia to Lungi Airport, with its final destination set to be Banjul. The crew members revealed that the crash was a result of mechanical failure in the rotor blade of the aircraft.

Promptly responding to the distress call, the Waterloo Police swiftly mobilized their rescue team, coordinating efforts to reach the crash site in the suburban village. Despite the challenging terrain, the police displayed remarkable efficiency and professionalism in their rescue mission.

The two individuals are in good health, along with their luggage. Additionally, the helicopter remains in good condition. ASP Allieu Jalloh, the Head of Media for the Waterloo Police Division, confirms that there are no security concerns

Concern for Drugs carriers? Serous genuine search must be mounted on the vessel to ascertain true content of the carrier. I rest my case.

I wonder what was the mission of those passengers on the helicopter, where they crashed landed, for our most efficient Police officers to make this dramatic rescue. My guess is they landed in an open space and when our officers arrived, the passengers were drinking palm wine. Been a critic, were they diamond smugglers? Oops. Well done to the pilot, for bringing the helicopter down safely, saving the lives of the passengers and people and properties in the village.
