The Brong Ahafo Regional Police Command has intercepted 800 pieces of AAA cartridges.

The cartridges were concealed in a mini Tata bus bound for Bunkpurugu in the Northern Region from Kumasi, with registration number UE 1162 C.

The Police Patrol team on May 13, 2016 intercepted the cartridges at the outskirts of Kintampo.

The Brong Ahafo Regional Police Relations Officer (PRO), ASP Christopher Tawiah, briefing the press during an identification parade in Sunyani, said when the driver, Konlan Kambele, and the caretaker, Suuk Kombart, were questioned, they identified 50-year-old Soodoin Konlan as the owner of the cartridges.

Soodoin Konlan admitted ownership of the cartridges and indicated that he was transporting the cartridges to the town to sell on rail basis.

The police also noticed that he had no license to run such a business. Investigations are still underway, but the suspect will be arraigned before court.

Meanwhile, the command has re-arrested Kingsford Kweku Yeboah, together with one Agyemang Boateng.

Kingsford Kweku Yeboah attacked one Kate Sam Wilson at Ohene Djan, a suburb of Sunyani, and robbed her of GH₵2,500.

He was nearly lynched but was rescued by the police and admitted at the Brong Ahafo Regional Hospital, where he escaped.
