The Accra Regional Police Command arrested five people. They are suspected of being landguards. These individuals allegedly caused trouble over land matters.
The arrests took place during a police operation. The goal was to reduce land disputes and criminal acts in Accra.

Authorities have not yet released the names of the arrested individuals. They are undergoing questioning.
The police stated that this operation is ongoing. They aim to ensure peace and security for property owners.
This action is part of broader efforts by the Ghana Police Service. They are working to tackle crime across the capital city.
