National Security seizes large sums of cash, counterfeit currency, and suspected gold bars in a warehouse raid at Sapeiman. A manhunt is underway for suspects.
National Security has made a massive bust, seizing a large, unspecified amount of US dollars and Ghana Cedis, including counterfeits, hidden in twelve 20-ft shipping containers.
The containers were tracked to a warehouse in Sapeiman within the Ga West Municipality, where a special operation was conducted following a tip-off.
The cleverly concealed currency, mostly bundles of US dollars, was found in wooden boxes filled with cement.
Other boxes opened in the warehouse during the sting operation revealed additional currencies stashed in boxes barricaded with plywood and sealed with charcoal.
According to the National Security operatives involved in the operation, two containers are still unaccounted for, but state security trackers are actively pursuing them.
Meanwhile, a manhunt is underway for four suspects, including the ringleader known only as Alhaji.
The warehouse yielded even more shocking discoveries, including boxes of metals suspected to be gold bars, counterfeit Ghanaian cedi notes in 50 and 100 denominations, and fake Ghana Army uniforms and boots.
