Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ebenezer Tetteh who happens to be the Eastern Regional Police Public Relations Officer is reported as saying that, his outfit’s investigations have revealed that about 50 percent of the entire cemetery had been dug out by the suspected thieves.

The police boss added that photographs were taken of the scene during their investigations after Nana Twumwaa, the Queen-mother of Moseaso and Abusuapanin Michael Acheampong also of Moseaso reported the incident to the police.
