Six people, including the Takoradi District Depot Manager of the Produce Buying Company (PBC), have been arrested in connection with a missing truckload of cocoa beans, which was allegedly hijacked by armed robbers at Dompim in the" Western Region last week. They are Kweku Asare Sarfo, the depot manager, Asafua Drokow, a purchasing clerk, Albert Kwesi Ampomah Nyanny, Isaac Eshun, Agyei Sekyi and Frank Atto. Nyanny, Eshun, Sekyi and Atto are said to have played extremely vital roles from the hijacking to the sale of the commodity. The truck was found empty and abandoned within the Central Region. So far, 175 bags of the beans which were part of the total consignment have been retrieved. According to the police, before the dried cocoa beans were sold, the sacks bearing the brand name of CDH Commodities were replaced with PBC-branded sacks. They said, concerning the hijacking of the produce, that purchasing clerks were already at hand at Ango, a cocoa-producing community in the northern part of the region, where the sacks were quickly replaced. After the hijacking, Eshun was said to have carted the beans to a PBC Depot at Daboase in the Mpohor Wassa East District, using a KIA truck with registration number GS 5017 Y. The police said that upon establishing which produce buying company bought the cocoa, wireless messages were sent for the police to search for the first cargo truck bearing the registration number WR 8784 C. Investigations are ongoing. When contacted, officials of CDH commended the Western Regional Crime Unit of the Ghana Police Service and its team of investigators for a job well done. They said the company's official position on the issue will be made known later. Source: Daily Graphic
