The National Security has seized stash of US dollars, gold bars and counterfeit currency in a warehouse bust.
“The containers were tracked to a warehouse in Ofaakor, Ga South Municipality, where a special operation was conducted after a tip-off,” a government statement disclosed.
According to the statement, the concealed currency, mostly bundles of US dollars, were found in wooden boxes filled with cement.
“Other boxes opened in the warehouse during the sting operation revealed extra currencies stashed in the boxes that are barricaded with plywood and sealed with charcoal,” the statement said.
According to the national security operatives involved in the operation, the statement noted that the two containers were still
on the loose, but state security trackers are hot on their trail.
“Meanwhile, a manhunt is underway for four suspects, including a ring leader known only as Alhaji.
“The warehouse yielded even more shocking discoveries, including boxes of metals suspected to be gold bars, counterfeit Ghana cedi notes in 50 and 100 denominations, and fake Ghana Army uniforms and boots,” the statement revealed.
