The Western Regional Police Command has raided illegal mining aka galamsey sites in Avelebo and Akango, located in the Evalue Ajomoro-Gwira District of the Western Region.
During the operation, the police seized 10 excavators and arrested 15 individuals, comprising seven foreign nationals and eight Ghanaian miners.
