A significant bust involved a Kanilai resident caught with one hundred fifty bundles of suspected cannabis. The drugs were hidden inside flour bags on the outskirts of Sibanor.
Multiple other arrests occurred across various communities. Suspects included both Gambian and foreign nationals. Seized substances ranged from cannabis and skunk to kush and ecstasy pills. Officers discovered crack cocaine in at least one operation. Concealment methods included medical bags, plastic wrapping, and cement paper.
Those apprehended come from towns like Bakoteh, Brufut, Brikama, and Tallinding. Arrests also took place near beach areas and village outskirts. One suspect was detained while riding an unregistered motorcycle. The agency continues to investigate all individuals involved.
All detained suspects remain in custody. The DLEAG operations underscore a coordinated push against illegal drug distribution. These actions highlight the agency's focus on intercepting controlled substances across The Gambia.
