The police in Tema have intercepted 866 parcels of a white powdered substance suspected to be cocaine, carefully concealed in sacks of gari.
The seizure was made during an intelligence-led operation conducted at about 8 p.m. on Wednesday, August 5, 2026.
Three suspects, including a Dutch national and two Ghanaians, have been arrested in connection with the consignment.
According to sources close to the operation, the suspects were apprehended while supervising a group of men loading sacks of gari and konkonte into a 40-foot container destined for export at a warehouse within the Tema Port enclave.
The suspects, the truck used in the operation, and the intercepted parcels are currently in police custody to aid further investigations.
