The police have arrested three suspects in connection with the alleged smuggling of quantities of cocoa beans to the neighbouring countries of either Togo or Burkina Faso, the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has confirmed.
The suspects include one of the drivers and two driver-mates of the three heavy-duty trucks, which were carrying the 1,473 maxi bags of cocoa beans covered with lumber.
The suspects have since been granted bail and are assisting in police investigations.
Two other suspects (drivers) involved in the crime are on the run.
