The National Police Service (NPS) has announced the arrest and arraignment of 90 suspected gang members as security agencies intensify operations targeting organised criminal gangs across the Coast region.

In a statement shared on its X account on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, the NPS said the arrests were made over the past two weeks during an intelligence-led operation aimed at dismantling criminal networks blamed for insecurity in the region.

According to the police, “the ongoing operation targeting organised criminal gangs and goons in the Coast Region has delivered significant results, with 90 suspected gang members linked to various criminal networks having been arrested and arraigned in court to face relevant charges over the past two weeks.”

The operation has relied on intelligence gathering, surveillance and coordinated action by security officers to track down suspects believed to be involved in crimes that have threatened the safety of residents.

Police said officers have continued to pursue individuals linked to criminal gangs while maintaining a strong presence in identified crime hotspots as the operation progresses.

The service noted that “driven by intelligence, surveillance, and coordinated action, officers have pursued suspects believed to be behind a range of criminal activities that threaten the safety of residents.”

The National Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to restoring peace and ensuring communities remain safe, saying security operations will continue until criminal networks are dismantled.

“The National Police Service reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that every neighbourhood remains secure,” the statement said.

Police also appealed to members of the public to support the ongoing crackdown by sharing information that could assist investigations and future operations.

Residents with information on criminal activities have been urged to report to the nearest police station or police post, call the toll-free emergency numbers 999 or 911, or use the #FichuaKwaDCI hotline.

Authorities say collaboration between law enforcement and the public remains crucial in sustaining the gains made in the fight against organised crime and ensuring lasting security across the Coast region.
