by Miss Naa · MyNewsGh.comPolice have arrested 64 suspects after firearms and ammunition were found during an operation at a lounge near Achimota Mile 7 in the Greater Accra Region.
Among the items recovered were three pump-action guns, four pistols, 62 AA and BB cartridges and 54 rounds of .40-calibre ammunition, following a search of a residence linked to suspect Michael Emmanuel Kingsley Mills at Atico.
Another suspect, Theophilus Ashon, was also arrested after claiming to be a CID Operations officer. Police checks established that he was not a serving officer.
A search on Ashon led to the recovery of a Smith & Wesson pistol loaded with six rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Police also impounded a blue, unregistered Acura after finding a pistol holster inside. No one at the scene claimed ownership of the holster, and the vehicle was taken to Police Headquarters for further investigation.
The operation was carried out by the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector-General of Police (SOA) and the National SWAT following complaints about suspected criminal activities around the lounge, including the alleged open display and possible trading of firearms.
