A woman has been arrested found in possession with 41 rolls of cannabis.
Julienne Kamashara 42, is being detained at Muhima Police station. Her arrest followed a tip-off from area residents who notified police of her acts.
Kamashara, a resident of Kabahazi Cell, Gitega Sector in Nyarugenge District, was arrested on September, 3, and is reported to be part of the group that deals in narcotics in Kigali.
Her arrest comes at a time when the anti-drug campaign is said to be paying off as the public have joined the campaign by reporting drug dealers.
Residents described Kamashara’s acts as ‘regrettable’ noting that woman should not, in any circumstance, be involved in such shameful acts.
Rwanda National Police is still conducting anti-drug campaigns among the population, highlighting the negative effects of drugs such as loss of lives, school dropouts and a source to criminal activities.
A total of 1, 663 people, among them 163 females, were apprehended countrywide between January and May this year for narcotics related crimes, according to a police report.
