On Monday, November 8, 2021, the Twifo Praso Divisional Police Command arrested an 18-year-old boy for allegedly peddling drugs.
After 14 others escaped a police swoop at Bankyease, a suburb of Twifo Praso in the Central Region, Guest Felix was the only one arrested.
On Wednesday, Central Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Irene Serwaah Oppong, confirmed the incident.
She said the Police conducted a swoop at Twifo Praso, Bankyease, and its environs between the hours of 7 and 9 p.m. on Monday, November 08, to flush out illicit drug dealers.
She said the police team came across a group of about 15 young men who had gathered in a Bankyease suburb known as Ghetto.
When the group saw the police, DSP Oppong said they bolted and left ten wrappers of a white substance suspected to be cocaine, 16 boxes of Rothmans cigarettes, 12 boxes of matches, five packets of paper wrappers, one torchlight, eight mobile phones, one Ghana Card bearing the name of Emmanuel Dadzie, and an amount of $12.50 behind.
The police after grabbing the one suspect destroyed and set ablaze the make-shift structures of the suspected drug peddlers. According to the PRO, the suspect has been detained to assist police in investigations whilst the aforementioned exhibits are in the custody of the Police.
