According to Abuakwa Divisional Police statement, police during the swoop found some wrapped substances, believed to be narcotics, from the selected ghettos they stormed.
“Various suspected criminal hideouts within these areas were combed and most of the suspects on seeing the police took to their heels, leaving behind substances suspected to be narcotics.
“Few arrests were made from within the vicinities where such substances were found…suspects were arrested though they were not directly connected with the exhibits found.”
According to the police report, which has been sighted by the DAILY GUIDE, the six suspects were screened and profiled, adding that the substances found in the ghettos were being kept at the station.
