CRIME CAPITAL OF THE CARIBBEAN
WADADLI – It’s going to get worse. It’s in all strata of the society, let us start with removing those on high and it will trickle down. Let us make this place THE GEM OF THE CARIBBEAN again
And all this happened with a community police station in operation.
THE POLICE HIGH COMMAND MUST TELL THE COUNTRY WHY THE FREETOWN POLICE STATION WAS UNAWARE OF THIS OPERATION IN SUCH A SMALL COMMUNITY.
Good job guys🙌🏾
Why didn’t the police simply leave the cars and the scene untouched and place it under surveillance for a few days/weeks? Wouldn’t that be a method to perhaps nabbing the perpetrators? Seems to me that the police missed a golden opportunity here.
Was this all part of the Badman Jun operation?

There are many other vehicles that have bot yet been recovered. We waiting. Get the vehicles. Not the herb. We have issues with police hustling people down for plants. But the stolen cars, the guys. The ammunition…yes we are supporting you. Go get them! Oh and the murderers too.
@Maths: That was an excellent idea, maybe Gaston should hire you to advise the Commissioner instead of some of the jokers he uaually hires from the UPP ship jumpers
