The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a driver found transporting a massive haul of suspected narcotic drugs concealed in a container truck.
The suspect, identified as Bismark Kpormeno, was arrested on Sunday, May 31, 2026, during a targeted operation by the Tema Highway Patrol Unit along the Tema–Ada road.
Kpormeno, who was piloting a Hyundai Mighty II container truck, reportedly defied police signals to pull over and attempted a high-speed escape. Officers pursued the vehicle, successfully cornering and apprehending him at Bondase.
A thorough search of the impounded truck uncovered 12 large sacks and 80 individually wrapped parcels of compressed plant material, heavily bound in sellotape.
Preliminary police inquiries indicate the illicit cargo was loaded at Kpeve in the Volta Region and was destined for delivery in Ada.
According to a statement signed by ASP Dede Dzakpasu, Head of Public Affairs for the Tema Regional Police, both the suspect and the vehicle remain in custody to assist with ongoing investigations.
The police command reaffirmed its commitment to dismantling drug trafficking networks and urged members of the community to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to law enforcement.
