On Tuesday, September 6, 2022, the Police after days of intelligence operation recovered one of the excavators reported missing from Ellembelle in the Western Region.
The missing excavator was discovered several kilometres into a forest within the Ellembelle District by a team of operations and intelligence officers working day and night.
A report published by the Police said “While the team of police officers were escorting the excavator to Takoradi, at the Axim Junction, the DCE of Ellembelle, Mr Kwasi Bonzo organised and led some thugs to attack the police and obstruct the operation. The DCE and three others were therefore arrested accordingly.
Earlier reports indicated that the excavators were in the possession of the police when they went missing.
But the Western Regional Police Command refuted the claim indicating that the excavators were not in their possession.
