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 said the suspects were picked up 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, together with the truck and the intercepted parcels, are currently in police custody for further investigations.
