The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested four persons for peddling in narcotic substances in the Manso Adubea area in the Ashanti Region.

The Regional Commander, ACP Joseph Hammond Nyaaba, while addressing the media last Tuesday, mentioned the names of the four suspects as Mohammed Iddrisu, 47, Dickson Fosuhene, alias Panda, 27, Cletus Nyaaba, 19, and Emmanuel Asare, 21.

He said Mohammed Iddrisu was found in possession of 550 wraps of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, 82 sachets of 250 mg Tramol tablets and an amount of GHC11,340.

Ofosuhene Dickson and Emmanuel Asare were arrested with 120 wraps of dried leaves, suspected to be Indian hemp, 150 sachets of 250 mg Taramaking tablets and an amount of GHC12,000 – while Cletus Nyaaba was arrested with 150 wraps of dried leaves, suspected to be Indian hemp.

ACP Nyaaba stated that police intelligence also led to the house of one ‘Thunder’ believed to be the source of supplies of the contraband goods, but he absconded upon getting a hint of the operation.

He further stated that a search in his residence discovered 28 boxes of 250 mg Taramaking tablets, 54 boxes of 250 mg Timiking tablets, 22 slabs of compressed dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, 374 wraps of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp and a cash amount of GHC25,000. He stated that the suspects are being processed for court.

In a related development, the Regional Commander announced that the Fomena Police Command has found and taken custody of some arms and ammunition abandoned in a vehicle at Kwabenakwa, a suburb of Obuasi.

The found arms included two pump action guns, 23 rounds of AA ammunition and three rounds of BB ammunition.

ACP Nyaaba explained that police investigations revealed that the said vehicle was given on ‘spare drive’ by the owner to one Kwaku, alias Zador, to be returned in two days time.

He continued that when the deadline expired and the driver failed to return the vehicle, the owner went searching and located the vehicle at the spot and found the items in it.

The Regional Commander advised criminals that it is time they gave up on criminal activities and resort to decent means of livelihood as the police have intensified efforts to bring them to book.
