The suspect was intercepted following a tip-off that he was transporting illicit substances from Dzolokpuita to Ho. Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Rockson Gyasi, the Ho West District Police Commander, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that officers mounted surveillance, which resulted in the dawn arrest. According to DSP Gyasi, the suspect, identified as 36-year-old Innocent Kpeglo, quickly admitted transporting the suspected narcotics to a contact in Aflao. “He immediately confessed he had the parcels and even offered us GH¢5,000 to drop the matter,” DSP Gyasi said. A search beneath the back seat revealed 37 parcels of dried leaves suspected to be marijuana, which were seized as evidence.
