Police officers in Odumase Krobo refused a substantial bribe. They rejected GH¢200,000 that was offered to them.
The bribe was an attempt to stop the police from proceeding with their investigation and seizure.
The officers had earlier discovered 105 bundles of suspected counterfeit US dollar notes. These were found hidden inside a metal trunk.
The discovery and the subsequent bribe attempt took place at Odumase Laasi.
The suspects involved are now facing charges related to the counterfeit currency.
The Ghana Police Service has commended the officers for their integrity and commitment to duty.
This action underscores the commitment of the police to combat financial crimes and protect the public.
The seized fake currency is being analyzed to determine its origin and the full extent of the operation. Further investigations are ongoing.
