Two foreigners have been arrested for allegedly carrying a trunk full of fake $100 notes in the boot of a car at Achimota Mile Seven in Accra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The suspects, Adekonle Morufden, 52, a Nigerian, and Mohammed Basim, 35, a Tunisian, are said to have packed the $100 bills in bundles of $10,000 in a silver-plated trunk hidden in the boot of the car.<\/p>\n

They are said to have attempted bribing the police personnel who arrested them including the National SWAT Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Bismark Achaab, with $30,000.<\/p>\n

Police bribed\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Commissioner of Police (COP) Prosper K. Agblor, said they were arrested at about 3p.m. on September 23, 2014.<\/p>\n

He said personnel of the SWAT Unit from the police headquarters, led by the National Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) Commander, embarked on a special operation based on intelligence gathered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile at Mile 7, the team intercepted a Toyota Camry, with registration number GR 5225-13, with two occupants,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Though the occupants denied carrying any unlawful items on their car, the police found a silver-plated trunk in the boot, and when it was opened, it was found to be filled with $100 notes.<\/p>\n

The suspicious police personnel queried the men about the money and their answers confirmed the suspicion of the police.<\/p>\n

When the police informed the men they were under arrest, \u201cthey gave the police $30,000 and pleaded with the police to let them go. The police took the money but arrested them and brought them to the police headquarters\u201d.<\/p>\n

Money is fake\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Agblor said when the money was examined, it was found to be fake.<\/p>\n

One of the suspects told the police that he could not tell the total amount of dollars in the trunk but \u00a0indicated that they were to trade it for GH\u00a2300 million.<\/p>\n

The case has since been handed over to the CID for further investigation and action.<\/p>\n

Mr Agblor commended the police personnel for the operation and resisting the temptation of accepting the bribe.<\/p>\n

He hinted that the police administration would reward the team later and urged other police officers to emulate the example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
