The Ghana Police Service in the Northern Region has launched a new anti-crime unit called Red Maria. This taskforce aims to step up efforts against criminal acts in the region.
The unit's focus is on tackling crime, particularly in Tamale and its nearby communities. This action comes after growing worries about an increase in criminal behavior.
DCOP Wisdom Lavoe, the Northern Regional Commander, announced the formation of the Red Maria taskforce. He stated that the police are committed to ensuring the safety of citizens.
The Red Maria taskforce will operate with the support of the Northern Regional Command. Specific details about the taskforce's operations and deployment were not immediately available.
This new initiative is expected to help control criminal activities and improve public security in the region.
