The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has closed down Amsterdam Pub at Laboma following an operation aimed at suspected narcotics-related activities occurring at the establishment.
This operation resulted in the arrest of three pub operators, who are currently cooperating with investigators as the Commission seeks to clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged narcotics trade.
NACOC stated that investigations are ongoing and will ascertain the full scope of the suspected activities, including the possibility of involvement from other individuals.
The Commission did not reveal the specific narcotic substances purportedly associated with the facility nor did it provide additional details regarding the circumstances that led to the arrests.
The closure is part of NACOC’s wider initiative to combat the illegal trade and distribution of narcotic substances within the country.
Authorities are expected to determine whether the suspected activities were confined to the pub or part of a larger network.
NACOC has called upon the public to assist in the fight against the illegal narcotics trade by supplying pertinent information to law enforcement agencies.
The three suspects remain under investigation, and no charges or determinations of guilt have been made at this time.
