Police have arrested twelve persons in the Eastern Region for allegedly engaging in cybercrime activities.

The 12 suspects, all Nigerians, were picked up on February 10, 2019, by a night police patrol team in a room at Nsawam where they were operating.

The police retrieved ten laptops, some mobile phones, wifi routers, USB drives among others in the raid.

They have been identified as Affamey Godstime, 23; Sunday Mawis, 21; Paul Mark, 24; Francis Owen,  27; David Orobose, 18; Irobor Gershon, 26; Felix Omoregbe, 28; Courage Mathew, 24; Hussein Abdullai, 24; Olojon Promise, 20; Cyril Joe, 21 and Victor Berry,  23.

“According to preliminary investigations, the suspects who were spotted had all gathered in one room operating on their laptops and were suspected to be engaging in cyber crime. So the night patrol team quickly strategized and went in to raid the place.”

DSP Ebenezer Tetteh added that the suspects have been detained to be screened as investigations continue.
