Three persons have been arrested in connection with the clashes at Mampongten in the Kwabre East Municipal district.
This follows a clash between rival youth groups, which left four persons injured.
This came up during an emergency Municipal Security Council meeting on Wednesday, December 29.
The Council resolved to roll out strategies to end similar violent clashes between youth groups in communities within the Municipality.
The Tafo-Pankrono Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Stephen Kwesi Kwakye, said, “currently three of them [the suspects] are in custody and assisting investigation while the victims have also been visited at the hospital, and they are responding to treatment.”
Meanwhile, the youth have been tasked to form a WhatsApp group to address their grievances without any physical confrontations easily.
In the quest to avert the escalation of the youth clashes in Mamponteng, armed police officers were deployed on Wednesday, December 29, to tighten security and safety in the area.
Some youth from the Zongo and Asante community engaged in reprisals after one person was attacked over his refusal to hand over his mobile phone to two men who confronted him.
The agitated youth rivals rampaged through the community and vandalised properties, including the destruction of a glass window of a mosque.
Police in the area say they will continue to monitor the situation to avert a possible recurrence of the disturbance at Mamponteng.
