Fourteen suspected criminals were last Saturday arrested by the Nima Divisional Police in an exercise aimed at flushing out criminals from the Accra New Town, GBC and areas around Kanda.
Six out of the 14 had in their possession white substances suspected to be cocaine and an amount of GH¢486.
The six are Baba Yaro, 30; Kazari Bibro, 33; Mohammed Jawara, 24, Malian; Kwasi Boateng, 35; Seidu Adamu, 18, and Mohammed Yakubu, 24.
Briefing the media, the Nima Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Timothy Yoosa Bonga, said the six would appear before court, while the remaining eight with no exhibits found on them would be screened.
He said the operation followed days of intelligence and surveillance laid by the “Intelligence Team” of the division as part of its action plan for 2010.
Chief Supt Bonga said the aim of the team was to reduce the incidence of crime in the area.
He stated that strategies had been devised to deal with peddlers and pushers of narcotic drugs and also armed robbery, adding that the intelligence team would help the public to channel information to the appropriate officers.
Chief Supt Bonga appealed to the public to pass information to the intelligence team at the Nima Division and assured them of their security.
