POLICE APPEAL FOR PUBLIC'S HELP TO IDENTIFY SUSPECT IN BRUFUT MOBILE SHOP BURGLARY

Police are appealing to members of the public to assist in identifying a suspect linked to a burglary at Santa Yalla Mobile Shop along the Turntable–Brufut Highway.

According to reports, the break-in occurred shortly after midnight on Thursday when the suspect allegedly gained entry to the shop by climbing onto the roof, removing corrugated roofing sheets and part of the ceiling before entering the premises.

The suspect is alleged to have stolen hundreds of new smartphones and mobile phone accessories before escaping through the same route.

During the incident, the suspect reportedly damaged a CCTV camera after noticing it. However, police say the camera captured footage of the suspect before it was destroyed.

The matter was reported to the Brusubi Police Station, where officers, including General Duty Officer Sergeant Jawara and Detective Sub-Inspector Bah, visited the scene and successfully extracted images of the individual believed to be connected to the burglary.

Police are now urging anyone who recognises the suspect or has information that could assist the investigation to contact 7675064 or 2591591.

Members of the public are encouraged to provide any relevant information that may help investigators while allowing the police to carry out their work.

Police in the West Coast Region have arrested a 35-year-old Nigerian national, Audu Williams, in connection with the alleged murder of his girlfriend, whose body was discovered in a bush between Kitty and Siffoe villages on July 7, 2026.

According to the Gambia Police Force, the deceased, initially unidentified and known only as "Jessica," was later confirmed to be Esther Tango, a 41-year-old Nigerian national.

According to police, the suspect allegedly confessed during the investigation. Preliminary findings indicate that he is alleged to have lured the deceased to Kitty on the night of July 6, 2026, where the fatal incident occurred before her body was abandoned at the scene.

The suspect has been cautioned and remains in police custody. Police say he will be formally charged and prosecuted in accordance with the laws of The Gambia once investigations are concluded.
