The Tema Regional Police Command has intercepted 866 parcels of a whitish substance suspected to be cocaine with an estimated street value of $6.

In a separate operation earlier on the same day, police officers at Tsopoli also intercepted an Opel taxi with registration number ER 564-X, carrying four sacks of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp.

He said the first operation was carried out at about 19:50 hours on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, after police received intelligence that suspected narcotics concealed in sacks of gari, were being loaded into a 40-foot container mounted on a white DAF truck with registration number WR 1118-10, at a warehouse within the Tema Harbour enclave.
