BURGLARY AT NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE: PRIME SUSPECT ARRESTED

By JarraNews Staff Reporter Police have launched a full investigation into a burglary at the National Audit Office, where items valued at over D351,000.00—including laptops and a bag—were stolen from the ICT Support Office. According to authorities, CCTV footage revealed two unidentified individuals entering the premises and making off with the stolen items. Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) and officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) promptly visited the scene. However, fingerprint analysis was hampered due to contamination of the area prior to their arrival. As part of ongoing investigations, several individuals have been taken into custody for questioning. In a significant breakthrough on Friday, July 25, police apprehended the prime suspect, Modou Mustapha Jallow—also known by the alias "Jamaica"—during a late-night operation near the Westfield Cooperative area. His arrest followed days of intensive surveillance aided by a confidential informant. Police say Jallow has since confessed to the crime, admitting to selling the stolen laptops on the Serrekunda black market. Investigators are now working to identify and apprehend the suspected buyer and to recover the stolen items. The suspect remains in police custody as the investigation progresses. The Gambia Police Force has assured the public that all efforts are being made to bring everyone involved to justice and recover the stolen property.
