Four people were arrested for possession for personal use of marijuana (four packets and two joints), while two others were arrested for possession and group use of marijuana, including one loose packet. One person was also arrested for possession and use of a hookah (shisha).

Furthermore, police arrested four individuals for theft, one person for conspiracy and aggravated theft committed at night, three others for nighttime theft, and one individual caught in the act of aggravated theft committed at night using a vehicle. Two other people were arrested for conspiracy and armed robbery.

    Bravo à nos FDS et à Me Bamba CISSE pour ce nettoyage en cette période de fête.
    Il faut également continuer le travail de désencombrement et mettre à disposition des citoyens un numéro vert pour signaler toute occupation anarchique!
