The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has intercepted 119 bags filled with compressed dried substance suspected to be Indian Hemp at Wute, near Akatsi, in the Volta Region.
The contraband item was being transported to an unknown location on a Ford Transit van and a truck that broke down along the way.
The sacks of the suspected narcotic drug were allegedly moved from the broken vehicle to a thatched house to hide it from the security agencies in the area.
The slabs of the suspected narcotic substance had been wrapped with brown cello tape and plastic bags and concealed in 100-kilogramme sacks which had been sewn at the edge.
The exact quantities and weight of each sack or slabs are yet to be established.
The van has since been impounded and its driver arrested.
