TWO
men, who attempted outwitting the police by using a fake diplomatic
number plate on a vehicle to facilitate their conveyance of maxi bags of
dried leaves suspected to be marijuana, from Tsibu, in the Volta
Region, to Accra, have been arrested and placed in police custody.
They are Ahmed Haruna, 39, the driver and Akoto Castro, 24.
The
Volta Regional Police Commander, Mr. P. Y. Gyinae, who disclosed this
to The Ghanaian Times here yesterday, said the vehicle, with the number
CD 182-13, was intercepted by members of the Volta Regional Police Day
Patrol Team, at Frankadua at about 5 p.m. on Sunday.
He said a search on the vehicle revealed a total of 446 slabs of the substance hence their arrest.
Investigations,
according to Mr. Gyinae, had so far revealed that the Pajero vehicle’s
original registration number was GS 5985 Z.
The vehicle has been impounded while investigations continue.
