The Volta Regional Police Command has intercepted a large sum of Ghanaian currency concealed in fertiliser bags aboard a commercial vehicle at the Juapong Snap Check Point.
In a statement signed by DSP Felix Danku of the Public Affairs Unit of the Volta Regional Police Command, the operation took place on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at approximately 4:45 p.m.
Acting on intelligence, officers stopped a Ford Transit bus travelling to Kumasi in the Ashanti Region. A thorough inspection of the vehicle revealed 68 fertiliser bags filled with one-cedi notes and coins, totalling GH¢1,021,700.
