Police in Tema have intercepted 866 parcels of a white powdered substance suspected to be cocaine, concealed in sacks of gari.
The seizure followed an intelligence-led operation carried out 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.
Sources close to the operation told Graphic Online’s Benjamin Xornam Glover that the suspects were arrested while supervising a group of men loading sacks of gari and konkonte into a 40-foot container for export at a warehouse within the Tema Port enclave.
The suspects, along with the truck and the intercepted parcels, remain in police custody as investigations continue.
