The Bono East Regional Command of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has carried out a targeted anti-drug exercise in Donkor-Nkwanta in the Nkoranza South District, resulting in the arrest of six individuals.
The operation, named “Operation Clean Street,” took place on Friday, March 27, 2026, as part of ongoing efforts to clamp down on the circulation and use of illicit substances, particularly among young people in high-risk communities.
According to NACOC, the exercise focused on identified drug-prone locations, often described as ghettos, within the area.
The suspects have been named as Ismael Tahiru, 20; Edward Adai, 20; Opoku Kwame, 20; Benjamin Atinga, 22; Isaac Antwi, 23; and Emmanuel Brobbey, 23.
A search conducted during the operation led to the discovery of substances suspected to be cannabis, as well as other synthetic drugs.
Officers also retrieved a range of items, including four blisters of Tramadol (250mg), six boxes of Gold Seal, 60 rolls of cannabis, a quarter parcel of wrapped cannabis, one and a half compressed parcels of cannabis, and seven additional quantities believed to be locally prepared cannabis.
Other items seized included four packs of rolling papers, a lighter, a motorcycle, two kitchen knives, five pairs of scissors, and a hammer.
All six suspects remain in custody and are assisting with investigations, while the confiscated substances and items have been secured for further examination and evidential use.
The Bono East Command of NACOC says it remains committed to intensifying intelligence-driven operations to dismantle drug networks and reduce substance abuse across the region.
