The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has conducted a major operation in the Eastern Region, targeting illegal drug activities in Akyem Oda and Akroso.
During the raid, 14 suspects were arrested in connection with the possession and distribution of illegal drugs. The operation was carried out following weeks of intelligence gathering and surveillance on suspected individuals and businesses.
As part of the crackdown, three licensed chemical stores were shut down after being found to be selling unregistered and controlled substances without proper authorization. Large quantities of illegal drugs and suspicious pharmaceutical products, including red and cannabis, were seized during the exercise.
NACOC officials have assured the public of continued efforts to dismantle drug networks across the country. They are urging residents to report any suspicious drug-related activities in their communities. The commission’s swift action demonstrates its commitment to tackling the issue of illegal drugs and protecting the public from the dangers of substance abuse.
The public is encouraged to support NACOC’s efforts by reporting any information that could help in the fight against illicit drugs. By working together, the community can help prevent the spread of illegal drugs and promote a safer and healthier environment for all.
