Four people have been arrested by authorities. They were caught mining illegally inside the Atiwa Forest Reserve.
The individuals were found with mining equipment. They also had extracted minerals. This suggests they were actively engaged in the illegal activity.
The Atiwa Forest Reserve is an important natural area. Illegal mining can harm its environment.
The arrest is part of ongoing efforts to stop illegal mining in the region. Increased patrols and surveillance are being used.
Investigations into the matter are continuing. Further details are expected from the Ghana Police Service.
