Arms trafficking suspect abandons weapons, evades Police surveillance
Arms trafficking suspect has abandoned a cache of suspected illegal firearms and ammunition after realising he was under police surveillance, the Police have confirmed.
The incident occurred on January 27, 2026, after intelligence indicated that an unidentified individual was transporting arms and ammunition from the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange toward the Agbogbloshie Bus Terminal, with Kpandai believed to be the final destination.
Acting on the tip-off, a surveillance team was deployed and tracked the suspect, who was riding a blue Royal motorcycle. Police said the suspect became aware of the trailing officers and discarded several parcels wrapped in black nylon bags before fleeing the area.
A search of the abandoned packages uncovered one A-Tac semi-automatic shotgun, two Jojef semi-automatic shotguns, and two boxes of cartridges containing a total of 500 BB cartridges.
Despite a coordinated search operation, the suspect managed to evade arrest. Police say investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend the suspect, as well as to trace the source and intended destination of the weapons.
