Seventy-five illegal moiners or galamsey operators were Monday dawn arrested at Konongo Odumase in the Asante Akim Central Municipality during a swoop conducted by members of Operation Vanguard.
The 3am swoop also yielded 120 grinding machines the miners use to mill the gold-bearing sand they dig during their operations.
The taskforce believe the exercise has been highly successful.
Konongo is a gold and manganese mining community located in the Ashanti region.
