Six suspects have been arrested following an intensified security operation targeting violent criminal gangs in Coast region. The six were arrested in separate as security agencies moved to dismantle the gangs’ operational structures. “The seizure of weapons alongside narcotics highlights the compound threat posed by these organised criminal elements to public order and community safety,” the DCI said. The incident is said to have provided crucial leads that helped detectives narrow down on the remaining gang members and their possible hideouts. Members of the public have been urged to cooperate with security agencies by sharing information that could aid investigations.
