A search conducted at the premises led to the recovery of a cache of arms and related items, including two pump-action guns, forty-three (43) rounds of AK-47 ammunition, two hundred and thirty-nine (239) BB cartridges, and four bulletproof vests. Other items retrieved include a black boot, a black face mask, two cutlasses, two Samsung mobile phones, one iPhone 13, a wristwatch, and a CCTV monitor.

Both suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations. The Ghana Police Service has assured the public that the suspects will be arraigned before court to face the full rigours of the law.
