The Eastern regional Police Command has arrested three suspects David
Tetteh, 43, Bortey Samuel, 22 and a 30-year-old woman, Akpeteyo Tetteh,
for attempting to smuggle 11 mini sacks of dried leaves suspected to be
marijuana from Abenabo, a farming community near Suhum to Accra for
sale.
Confirming the incident to Starr News, the Public Relations officer
of the Eastern regional Police Command, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh explained
that on Thursday, December 28, 2017, at about 10pm, the night patrol
team of the Suhum District Police Command led by G/Cpl. Alex Adjei had a
tip off that the suspects were in a room at Abenabo near Suhum
processing dry leaves suspected to be Indian Hemp meant to be
transported to Accra for sale.
He said, the patrol team assisted by the informant quickly rushed to
the said house at Abenabo, laid surveillance and apparently found out
that the suspected narcotics had already been parcelled into eleven mini
bags waiting to be transported to Accra.
ASP Ebenezer Tetteh added that, the suspects were arrested and led
Police to search the rooms in the house where in one of the rooms, the
eleven mini bags containing the dry leaves suspected to be Indian hemp
were found and retrieved.
The three suspects are currently in Suhum Police cells while the
exhibits have been retained at the Police station to assist in

Eastern region is notorious for drug peddling as huge consignments
of marijuana have been arrested this year and previous years by the
Police.
ASP Ebenezer Tetteh, said the Regional Police Commander, DCOP Simon
Afeku, has rolled out several strategies aimed at clamping down on
illicit drug trade in the region hence called on residents to help
Police with timely information to help deal with the menace.
