On December 19, 2019, meticulous investigations by the National Crime Agency and Border Force, following an intelligence tip-off, led to the seizure of 1.5 tonnes of cannabis. The drugs, ingeniously concealed within sacks of Gari powder, were disguised to evade detection during transport from Ghana to the UK. This case exemplifies the lengths to which traffickers will go, manipulating everyday goods to obscure illicit activities and maximize profit.
Daniel Yeboah, 54, and his accomplices were under continuous surveillance by NCA officers. After realizing the drugs were missing from their delivery, they attempted to flee the scene in separate vehicles. A crucial aspect of their operation was revealed through call recordings, such as Yeboah's caution to Adjei, urging him to be watchful, revealing their heightened awareness of potential law enforcement presence and the precariousness of their criminal enterprise.
The investigation revealed that Yeboah signed the delivery note with a forged signature, clearly indicating premeditation in their operation. The intercepted communications demonstrate their panic upon discovering the missing drugs, with messages indicating their distrust of each other and concerns about law enforcement involvement. This situation underscores the in-depth planning executed by drug traffickers, yet also highlights their vulnerabilities under the scrutiny of law enforcement.
