Police in Ashanti Region have arrested four persons including a Burkinabe for possessing and transporting a cache of ammunition to Niger.

The suspects, three of whom are Ghanaians were picked up upon a tip off.

Nhyira FM’s Ohemeng Tawiah who has been following the story reports the suspects were arrested at a House in Alabar, a suburb of Kumasi.

It is the biggest arms haul in the history of the Kumasi Police.

The arms retrieved include 20 AK47 guns, machine guns and countless ammunitions, Ohemeng reported.
