Items retrieved from the suspects, include compressed slabs of narcotic substance, suspected to be Indian hemp, 135 wrappers and 38 sachets, containing dried leaves, suspected to be Indian hemp.
The exercise, which aimed at clamping down on criminals in the area, was led by Chief Superintendent (Chief Supt) Julius Kpeberson, the Baatsona Divisional Police Commander.
The head of Public Relation of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Effia Tenge, confirmed the story to the Ghanaian Times, in Accra, yesterday.
