The Airport Police in Accra have arrested nine persons for persistent harassment of motorists along some traffic intersections.
The Police commander for the Airport Division, Supt. Bismark Agyapong, led a team of officers on June 23, 2021, on the operation which targeted loitering youth begging for alms at major traffic intersections.
Sometimes these beggars are said to become aggressive when drivers and other road users fail to give them alms.
As such, the culprits, ranging between the ages 18 and 30 years end up scratching the vehicles with metal objects, hence their arrest.
The suspects were arrested around Shiashie, Standard Authority, N1-Dzorwulu traffic light and Okponglo.
Suspects are currently in Police custody and those found culpable would be put before court soon.
