There are many other vehicles that have bot yet been recovered. We waiting. Get the vehicles. Not the herb. We have issues with police hustling people down for plants. But the stolen cars, the guys. The ammunition…yes we are supporting you. Go get them! Oh and the murderers too.
Who is the owner of the land?
Wicked set ah people
Good to see the police being vigilant and active in Freetown.
Many of them are driving around with false number plates. Too many stolen vehicles
What you’re driving to tell me? Cause this doesn’t make any sense, how can a person drive around with false license plate? So another person don’t know their license plate? If you say, they are changing their license plate to do robbery then that I can understand
Hats off to the police for doing an excellent job. Like another person has already stated..leave the plants. Get the criminals, return the vehicles that weren’t stripped to their rightful owners, and make the criminals pay restitution for the damage they have done.
now that’s a big wind fall now you are motivated to search harder congrats
Weed and stolen vehicles? Hmmm. I guess the same guys from the shoot out are apart of this! So how many people vehicle has been taken for spare parts or to make a little money
