The Eastern North Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the transportation of large quantities of suspected Indian hemp on Volta Lake.
The suspects were allegedly transporting 5,950 parcels of compressed and non-compressed leaves suspected to be Indian hemp across the Volta Lake at Asuboni, near Kwahu Adawso in the Eastern Region.
The suspects have been identified as Abraham Agonu, Michael Akuaku, and Confidence Amenuveve.
They were apprehended on Tuesday, May 28, 2025, while ferrying the suspected narcotics by boat.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the three are part of a broader smuggling network allegedly led by a man identified only as Felix, who is believed to have boarded a separate boat en route to the Akate area.
Police retrieved a pump-action shotgun, eighty-five maxi sacks containing 5,950 parcels of suspected Indian hemp, two outboard motors, and one large engine boat from the suspects.
Meanwhile, the police have launched a manhunt for Felix and other accomplices linked to the operation.
