Ghanaian police have stopped over 1,600 parcels of suspected illegal drugs from reaching the public. These seizures happened in the Oti Region. The drug parcels were compressed, meaning they were tightly packed.
Seven people believed to be involved in drug crimes were arrested. These arrests were made during special police operations. The operations used information gathered by the police.
The Public Affairs Unit of the Oti Regional Police Command shared these details. They did not say what type of drug was found. They called the substances 'suspected narcotic drugs'.
The police confirmed that these operations were led by intelligence. This means police had tips or information before acting. These operations show the police are working to fight drug crime.
The police statement did not give details on where exactly in the Oti Region the arrests happened. It also did not say when the arrests took place, only that they were part of a series of operations.
The arrested individuals will likely face charges related to drug offenses. The police did not release the names of the arrested suspects. The seized drugs will probably be tested to identify them.
