On Wednesday night, police in Tema foiled a suspected narcotics trafficking operation that aimed to export a cache of cocaine worth approximately US$6.928 million. The haul, discovered concealed within 866 parcels mixed with sacks of gari and konkonte, led to the apprehension of three suspects, including a Dutch national named Gilano Horwin.
The operation, conducted by a specialized team from the Tema Regional Police Command, involved swift action based on intelligence regarding a container load at a Tema Port warehouse. In a separate incident earlier on the same day, police intercepted an Opel taxi allegedly carrying Indian hemp (ganja) in Prampram District. The seized substances and suspects are under investigation, while other members of the alleged trafficking network are still to be apprehended.
