THE police have intercepted a Mercedes Benz truck loaded with eight sacks of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp.
Three persons, John Larbi, the driver of the truck, Daniel Obiri and Wisdom Adzokpah, were arrested and are assisting the police in investigations.
In an attempt to outwit the police, the culprits sandwiched the stuff between charcoal in the sacks
The Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Kwasi Ofori, told the Daily Graphic that personnel of the Highway Patrol Team from the Police Headquarters spotted the truck, with registration number GT 4457 U, at about 5:30 a.m. at Maame Water Village on the Akosombo-Ho road.
He said when Larbi was questioned, he said the bags contained charcoal, but upon some checks the police discovered the stuff in the sacks.
DSP Ofori said upon interrogation, Larbi mentioned Obiri and Adzokpah as the suppliers of the stuff and claimed that he (Larbi) was sending it to Ashaiman.
Further investigations led to the arrest of Obiri and Adzokpah.
