The Volta Regional Police Command has intercepted a large sum of money 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.
Following the discovery, the driver of the vehicle, identified as Edward Ansah, informed the police during interrogation that he had been contracted by an unknown individual in Kumasi to transport the money from Ho in the Volta Region.
He has since been taken into custody and is assisting with ongoing investigations.
The police have assured the public that further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
