The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has arrested six persons suspected of engaging in land guard activities and possessing firearms.

It said six persons were arrested out of the group, while others fled.

The police seized one AK-47 rifle with five rounds of ammunition, a Luger T9 pistol with five rounds of ammunition, a Regard MC pistol with 13 rounds of ammunition, and four motorbikes.
