“We understand that during the bust, which was conducted within the confines of the law, the suspected drug dealer, now deceased, who was now known as Robert ‘Kicks’ Varrie, resisted co-operating with the lawful instructions of the recognised members of the community policing forum, who were dressed in their uniforms and had their credentials. Following persistence by the members of the community policing forum, the deceased agreed to hand over the illegal drugs that he had been hiding at the premises,” Moja Love explained the incident.
“The show continues to work with law-enforcement agencies, and in each of the shows, case numbers are shared, including that the suspects are or were handed over to the authorities for further investigations and legal processes.”
