Accra, Aug 01, GNA – Personnel from Ghana Armed Forces stationed at the Base Ammunition Depot in Michel Camp at Tema, have arrested a middle-aged man for breaching the perimeter fence to gain entry into the Ammunition Depot.

A Press Statement signed by Naval Captain Michael Addo Larbie, Director of Public Relations at GAF, said the suspect, Yaw Boateng, who was caught red-handed in the act, claimed he was from Ashaiman Tulaku, and was trying to access the Ammunition Depot to seek aluminum plated materials for sale.

At the time of his arrest, items found on the suspect, who has been handed over to the Police CID for further action, included 18 pieces of aluminium plates, iron pickets and a broken street light lamp holder.

GAF has cautioned that the Base Ammunition Depot is a highly sensitive and restricted security zone and out of bounds to the general public, and further warns intruders and encroachers of dire consequences if they fail to heed the numerous public warnings and education to stay clear off a high security zone such as an Ammunition Depot.

While calling for the cooperation and support of all stakeholders in ensuring security and safety of all, the GAF cautioned the public strongly to desist from tampering with the perimeter fence or attempting to gain unauthorised access for the sake of their own safety and that of all others, as there could be serious repercussions for such actions.
