Officers from the Tema Regional Police Command apprehended two individuals on suspicion of possessing illegal narcotic drugs. A report from the Ghana News Agency indicates that the arrests occurred during a routine stop and search operation conducted within the Tema metropolis.

During the patrol operation the police intercepted a vehicle that was found to be transporting multiple bags containing a substance suspected to be cannabis. A statement from the Ghana Police Service confirmed that the items have been secured as exhibits for the ongoing investigation. The exact weight and market value of the seized narcotics remain unconfirmed pending a forensic analysis by the narcotics control authorities.
The two suspects were taken into custody immediately after the discovery of the substances.
