Professional trained dogs have been adopted by the National Police in the checking of vehicles for any suspicious items especially drugs and explosives.
This was launched on 15th January 2012 in Kayonza district-Eastern Province.
The police spokesperson, supt. Theos Badege says that this technique of using dogs will help in avoiding and weakening drug dealings forbidden in Rwanda.
“we are used to seizing passengers with drugs enroute from Uganda and Tanzania meeting in Kayonza, the reason why it was the first place to be checked”, said Badege.
He revealed that not only passengers but also some drivers are involved in drugs business where they conceal them in passenger’s baggage.
Badege warned drug dealers saying Police will not tolerate such kinds of illegal business that threatens security and population as a whole.
