Three men faced arrest Saturday after police found them with 14 drums of fuel at the Sengabay boat yard. Each drum held 200 litres of petrol. Community members tipped off officers about suspicious activity around 4:30 PM. The suspects were loading the containers into a boat. Police believe they planned to smuggle the fuel across the lake to Mozambique.
Fatsani Phiri turns 43 next month and lives at Dalamkuanda village. Madalitso Dzindiwo is 31 years old and from the same area. Amidu Sipolo reaches 40 this year and calls the village home. All three men reside under Traditional Authority Maganga. Sub-Inspector Rebecca Ndiwate serves as the Salima Police spokesperson.
Officers discovered the trio lacked proper permits for the petroleum products. The men claimed they had legal rights to the fuel. However, they could not show any official paperwork. Authorities found their explanations unconvincing. Legal proceedings will start once police finish the required documentation.
Citizens continue helping law enforcement solve crimes across the district. Police thank residents for reporting suspicious behavior. These tips lead to many successful arrests each month. Community cooperation makes neighborhoods safer for everyone. Officers encourage people to keep sharing information about criminal activity.
