Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>An unidentified gunman reportedly opened fire inside the residence of Ali Sidi, a Mauritanian businessman in Fajara yesterday morning before fleeing in a BMW car with registration number KM 2385E.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Mr Sidi, the gunman fired a shot in the air and physically attacked him.<\/p>\n

He is reported to have fled the scene in a grey-coloured BMW when he realised a crowd was gathering with intent to subdue and arrest him.<\/p>\n

Heavily armed Police Intervention Unit officers were sent to the scene but arrived after the gunman and his accomplice fled.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, preliminary police investigation revealed that the getaway BMW vehicle did not have the correct registration number.<\/p>\n

The police said, they traced the registration number and discovered that it belonged to a Mercedes Benz vehicle that is currently undergoing repairs in a garage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vehicle used was tracked through the registration number and it was uncovered that the plate used on the BMW the suspect operated with, is detached from a Benz parked in a car park. The park owner is helping police with the investigation,\u201d police spokesperson Binta Njie told last evening.<\/p>\n
