Six people suspected in a case of conspiracy to commit crime have been arrested by the police in Accra.
They are; Isaac Kofi Okyere Ali, Kwame Essuman and Emmanuel Nana Owusu.
The rest are Frank Nana Fensie Taylor, Gabriel Kwabena Mensah and Okyere Darke alias Kwasi Idan.
A source at the Police CID told Public Agenda that on July 5, 2007, the police had information that some people were printing fake currencies in a house at Kwashieman with the aim of exchanging them for the new Ghanaian cedis.
The police moved in and arrested the suspects in an uncompleted building at Kwashieman. The source said a search in the room revealed two suit cases sealed with addresses on them to appear as if they were luggage sent from abroad.
When the suitcases were opened, a quantity of empty sachets of pure water were found. Upon interrogation, suspects claimed ownership of the suitcases but could not tell the police what they intended doing with the contents.
Investigations by the police revealed that suspect Isaac Okyere, alias Borbor, aged 36, a trader and resident at Teshie was the ring leader.
He had arranged with the other suspects who live at different suburbs of Accra to meet in the room of suspect Frank Nana Fensie Taylor, an ACCA student aged 23 to carry out their illegal operation.
Further investigations revealed that the contents of the suit cases were being prepared to be delivered to some unsuspecting people as parcels from abroad in a bid to defraud them. They were admitted to bail to appear before court today (July 13, 2007).
