The suspects are in police custody, and investigations are ongoing, with retrieved exhibits undergoing forensic examination.

In a related operation, the police have arrested 29-year-old Adam Mohammed for illegal trade in narcotics at Aboabo No.1.
During a search, the police retrieved 35 packs of 250mg tramadol, 28 packs of 120mg tramadol, 11 packs of 225mg tramadol, 50 empty cartons used for packaging and transporting drugs and GH₵ 66,950.00 believed to be proceeds from illicit drug sales.
