Police have arrested four men for allegedly breaking into their employer’s house. 

The suspects are Cherno Ngum, Alasana Krubally, Alieu Tangara and Yankuba Tangara, police said.

They are alleged to have stolen gold and diamond jewellery and an unconfirmed amount of cash.

Police spokesman Superintendent Lamin Njie said at a press conference: “Some time ago, we have a complainant who reported to the police that his house has been broken into and items were stolen.

“The police set up an investigation panel and then diligently and professionally they were arrested. One of them is Cherno Ngum, he’s a Senegalese national but he works for the complainant we realised later on.

“And also, we have another two suspects, Alasana and two other individuals who were all employees of the complainant who decided to break into their employer and decided to steal all these properties that you have seen,” he added.
