A coordinated police operation in two communities led to multiple arrests and the disruption of alleged drug-related activity on Thursday, December 18, in the Bono East Region.

In Twumia, three individuals were taken into custody during a targeted swoop. They have been identified as:

· Godfred Yeboah, 28 years
· Mahama Majeed, 30 years
· Emmanuel Osei, 30 years

According to police reports, one wrapper containing dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp (cannabis) was recovered at the scene.

The operation was subsequently extended to the nearby community of Aworano. However, all suspects at the identified location, described by authorities as a ghetto, allegedly fled before the police team's arrival.

“Upon reaching Aworano, the suspects had been alerted and managed to escape. However, we took decisive action to disable the location used for these activities,” a police source stated.

The structure in Aworano was destroyed by the police team. Leftover pieces of a dried substance, also suspected to be Indian hemp, were collected from the site for evidential purposes.

All exhibits from both locations have been retained. The three arrested suspects remain in police custody, pending further investigation.

The operation is part of ongoing efforts by local law enforcement to combat drug trafficking and consumption in the region. Authorities have urged the public to continue providing timely information to aid in such initiatives.
