The Agona Swedru Divisional Police Command has arrested two individuals for allegedly possessing substances suspected to be narcotics during a targeted security operation in the area.
According to police sources, the suspects were apprehended following intelligence-led surveillance aimed at cracking down on the circulation of illegal drugs within the municipality. Officers reportedly intercepted the two during a routine patrol and, upon conducting a search, discovered quantities of substances believed to be narcotic drugs concealed in their possession.
The suspects were immediately taken into custody for further questioning as investigators work to determine the source of the suspected narcotics and whether the individuals are linked to a larger drug distribution network operating within Agona Swedru and its surrounding communities.
The seized substances have been secured and are expected to undergo forensic examination to confirm their composition. Police say the outcome of the tests will guide the next phase of legal proceedings against the suspects.
The Agona Swedru Police Command has reiterated its commitment to intensifying operations against drug-related activities, warning individuals involved in the trade and distribution of illegal substances to desist or face the full rigours of the law.
Authorities are urging members of the public to support ongoing anti-narcotics efforts by volunteering credible information that can assist in combating the growing menace of drug abuse and trafficking in the area.
