The Bono Regional Police Command has arrested a 20-year-old man, Collins Kyeremeh, for unlawful possession of a firearm and narcotic drugs at Odumase in the Sunyani West Municipality.
According to police sources, the arrest was made following an intelligence-led operation at the suspect’s residence. During a search, officers discovered a polythene bag containing dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp hidden in the ceiling of the suspect’s bathroom.
Initially, Kyeremeh denied owning any firearm. However, during further interrogation, he admitted possession and led the police to an uncompleted building near his home. There, officers retrieved a Makarov pistol and four rounds of 7.62x17mm ammunition.
Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, Public Relations Officer for the Bono Regional Police Command, confirmed the arrest.
“The suspect is currently in police custody, assisting with investigations. Efforts are underway to put him before the court for prosecution,” he said.
Chief Inspector Akeelah added that the Command remains committed to intensifying operations against the illegal possession of firearms and narcotic drugs across the region.
