Ghana Police Service officers intercepted a large quantity of suspected marijuana. The drugs were found in about fifty sacks.
The incident took place on the Kpando-Sokode road in the Volta Region. This is a key route where law enforcement monitors transportation.
Two suspects were arrested when the police discovered the sacks. Their identities have not yet been released.
The operation is part of ongoing efforts by the police to combat the illegal drug trade in the region and across the country.
The impounded leaves will be sent for testing to confirm they are marijuana. Further investigations are underway to determine the origin and intended destination of the drugs.
Authorities state that such seizures help disrupt criminal networks and prevent illicit substances from reaching communities.
The suspects will face charges related to narcotics offenses. The judicial process will determine their fate.
This action underscores the police commitment to maintaining law and order and protecting citizens from the harms associated with illegal drugs.
