Police in the Ashanti Region have arrested two men suspected of illegal mining. The arrests were made by the Sankore District Police.
The suspects were apprehended while operating excavators. They were found working in an area where mining activities are prohibited.
The Ghana Police Service is working to curb illegal mining across the country. This action is part of ongoing efforts to enforce mining laws.
Illegal mining, often referred to as galamsey, causes significant environmental damage. It pollutes water bodies and destroys farmlands.
Authorities are committed to prosecuting individuals involved in these activities. This aims to protect the environment and natural resources.
