Reports suggest that the group nearly assaulted the Judge, Mary Senkyire and also destroyed some court properties.
Thirteen (13) members of the group were detained after the group assaulted the newly appointed Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator, George Adjei.
Reports say only two police officers were on duty at the court at the time, with one of them being pregnant.
However, they managed to get the judge Mary Nsenkyire to safety, while Delta Force members vandalised property at the court.
Eight of those who aided in the escape were subsequently arrested by the police.
