Three men have been sentenced to prison by a Tarkwa circuit court. They received a combined jail term of 18 months.
The court found them guilty of engaging in illegal mining activities. They were also convicted for obstructing police officers.
The sentences were handed down this week. The court did not specify the exact duration for each individual.
The arrests were made in connection with illegal mining operations. The police were carrying out their duties when they were obstructed.
This action highlights the government's ongoing efforts to combat illegal mining and ensure law enforcement can operate freely.
The Judicial Service confirmed the convictions and sentences.
