Taiama Town, Kori Chiefdom, Moyamba District – Earlier on Friday 19 July 2024, the Community Bank in Taiama experienced a brazen robbery attack.
According to Idrissa Koroma, a Police officer from the Operational Support Division who was assigned as the night guard, the incident occurred around 8 AM.
Koroma reported that approximately six men, armed with machetes, assaulted, overpowered, and disarmed him.
The robbers breached the bank’s security by breaking through the back fence and smashing a window to gain entry into the main area of the bank.
Although they managed to enter the vault room, they were unable to access the main vault.
However, they successfully made off with 150,000 new leones and the firearm that OSD Koroma was responsible for.
