The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Ellembelle in the Western Region, Kwasi Bonzo, together with three others have been arrested by police for their alleged knowledge of the missing excavators.
This was after one of the missing heavy duty equipment was found at a location several kilometers into a forest within the district.
The police added, “While the team of police officers were escorting the excavator to Takoradi, at the Axim Junction, the DCE of Ellembelle, Kwasi Bonzo organised and led some thugs to attack the police and obstruct the operation.”
It led to the arrest of the DCE, Kwasi Bonzo, and three others accordingly.
Police say they are continuing with their investigation to recover the other excavators and arrest all those behind to face justice.
