National security has made a massive bust, seizing a large unspecified cash of US dollars and Ghana Cedis, including counterfeits, hidden in twelve 20ft shipping containers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The containers were tracked to a warehouse in Sapeiman, in Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra region, where a special operation was conducted after a tip-off.<\/p>\n

The cleverly concealed currency, mostly bundles of US dollars, was found in wooden boxes filled with cement.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by the National Security said other boxes opened in the warehouse during the sting operation revealed extra currencies stashed in the boxes that are barricaded with plywood and ceiled with charcoal.<\/p>\n

According to the national security operatives involved in the operation, two containers are still on the loose, but state security trackers are hot on their trail.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a manhunt is underway for four suspects, including a ring leader known only as Alhaji. The warehouse yielded even more shocking discoveries, including boxes of metals suspected to be gold bars, counterfeit Ghana cedi notes in 50 and 100 denominations, and fake Ghana Army uniforms and boots.<\/p>\n
