Two individuals, Asando Asankiba and Beatrice Amegashie, have been arrested after narcotics were allegedly intercepted during a Voxy minibus stop in Kasoa. According to a statement from Crime Check Ghana, Asankiba was apprehended following the vehicle's search by police. During questioning, he claimed the narcotics had been given to him by Amegashie for delivery to an individual named Akos in Tarkwa.

Both suspects were subsequently arrested and are currently in police custody as the investigation proceeds.
