The arrest, facilitated by the vigilance of members of the public, occurred when the suspect’s backpack accidentally fell from an Accra-bound passenger bus traveling from Kumasi
The police have arrested a 25-year-old man found in possession of a cache of ammunition and other suspicious items near the Asankare Police barrier.
The arrest, facilitated by the vigilance of members of the public, occurred when the suspect’s backpack accidentally fell from an Accra-bound passenger bus traveling from Kumasi.
The incident drew the attention of police officers stationed nearby, leading to the suspect’s immediate arrest.
Deputy Ashanti South Regional Police Commander, ACP Cephas Arthur, briefed the media on the situation, assuring the public of ongoing investigations to uncover the suspect’s intentions and any possible criminal connections.
A search of the backpack revealed a disturbing array of items, including two empty CZ magazines, one empty G3 magazine, two G3 magazines loaded with eight rounds of ammunition each, one round of BB ammunition.
The rest are, 35 rounds of CZ ammunition, 42 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, 97 rounds of G3 ammunition, 16 rounds of red-headed G3 ammunition, two pairs of military trousers, military boots, a crash helmet, and dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp.
“Investigation has commenced earnestly into the incident and sooner than later the suspect will be processed for court for necessary action”, Arthur disclosed during a press conference on Monday (12 May).
He further cautioned that the Command has stepped up its operation to “rid our community of all criminals and social misfits and create a congenial atmosphere for the good people to go about their socio-economic activities without fear or hinderance”.
