CBP arrests fugitive from Georgia wanted for armed robbery

BUFFALO, N.Y. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Port of Buffalo, Peace Bridge border crossing, arrested a United States citizen who had an active warrant out of Atlanta Police Department.

On July 28, CBP officers encountered Djamilou Sebabe, a 27-year-old-male United States citizen from Georgia, entering the United States in a passenger vehicle. During Sebabe’s examination, CBP officers discovered a National Crime Information Center (NCIC) match that indicated that he had an active warrant for his arrest. Subsequently, Sebabe was taken to the secondary inspection area by CBP officers, to verify the warrant. During the secondary inspection, CBP officers verified Sebabe’s identification and confirmed that he had an active arrest warrant from the Atlanta Police Department for felony Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault and additional felony charges.
