Some angry residents at Kalakpa on Wednesday charged on police personnel and officers from the Forestry Commission in the Volta Region.
This was after the personnel stormed the area to arrest illegal loggers, who had invaded the forest to harvest the endangered rosewood.
The authorities also accuse the loggers of cutting down Ceibar and Borassus trees, which are also rated as high-value timber just like Rosewood.
The mob also released some two arrested illegal loggers who were handcuffed for illegally invading the Kalakpa Forest Reserve.
