He said they were arrested at Agona Nkwanta, in the Ahanta West District.
Mr Odwiri said they had information about their presence at a Party meeting in the area and consequently caused their arrest.
He indicated that they were picked by the Agona Nkwanta Police who later handed them over to their Half-Assini counterparts for investigations.
He said they were given one week to pay back the money they allegedly defrauded from the fishermen to purchase outboard motors for them.
A police source said the duo would be arraigned in the coming weeks.
