3 people have been arrested by the Ba Police for unlawful possession of illicit drugs and 8 cases of drinking in public places in Ba over the weekend.
This comes after the Ba business community raised concerns about the challenges they faced regarding methamphetamine usage in the town, fights occurring on the streets following the opening of nightclubs, and the consumption of alcohol in town.
Divisional Police Commander West, Senior Superintendent of Police Iakobo Vaisewa says Ba Police is doing their part and this is reflected in the arrests made for unlawful possession of illicit drugs.
He says they will continue to enforce the law and officers in Ba have a good working relationship with the business community and market vendors association that have come on board to fund CCTV cameras.
SSP Vaisewa adds the Crime prevention Committees are also very active in the Ba area.
