In a major crackdown on the possession of illegal drugs and firearms, the Operations Team of the Mountain Division conducted a targeted raid on Sunday, resulting in the arrest of two suspects and the seizure of dangerous items.
The operation was launched following intelligence reports and led to the arrest of Alusine Barrie of Leicester Village at Leicester Wash Bay. Barrie was found in possession of twenty tablets of Tramadol, a controlled substance.
During questioning, Barrie identified Jeremiah Lawundeh, of No. 19 Edie Mauculey Street, Gloucester, as a person of interest. Acting on this information, the Police conducted a follow-up raid at Lawundeh’s residence, where additional illegal items were recovered, including ten cards of Tramadol, a pistol with four live rounds, and a suspicious object believed to be a human bone.
Both suspects, along with the exhibits, are currently assisting the Police with ongoing investigations.
