NACOC intercepts 73 slabs of suspected cocaine at Swiss Port; 4 arrested

Four individuals have been arrested following the interception of a cargo shipment containing suspected cocaine by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) on Wednesday, April 23.

The operation took place at the Swiss Port, where NACOC officials uncovered a total of seventy-three (73) slabs of a concealed substance believed to be cocaine.

The suspected narcotics, weighing approximately 89.74 kilograms, were reportedly being packaged for export to the Netherlands.

Authorities say the interception was a result of intelligence-led operations aimed at curbing international drug trafficking through Ghana’s ports.

The four suspects, whose identities have not yet been disclosed, are currently in NACOC custody as investigations continue.
