Police in the Eastern Region have arrested two men after discovering four live BB cartridges in their vehicle at Akwatia.

The suspects, identified as 32-year-old Enoch Asiedu and 58-year-old Lu Youyan, were intercepted on board a Toyota Hilus pick-up at the Boadua Livingstone Junction Snap Check point. A police statement issued on Saturday said the cartridges were retrieved during a search of the vehicle.
