The National Security Co-ordinator, Colonel Larry Gbevlo Lartey says more cocaine is expected to be found on the vessel impounded Tuesday .
He said a parcel of the drug was found floating on the sea near the vessel.
The security capo is unable to tell the exact quantity of cocaine that has been picked from the Panamanian vessel, preferring to leave that for the Narcotics Conrtol Board to say.
Colonel Lartey told Joy FM’s Super Morning Show host, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah that the security agencies were investigating the death of one of the crew.
A joint operation by the National Security, the police, the Narcotic Control Board and the Port Security Tuesday led to the discovery of five bags of substances suspected to be cocaine on board a Panamanian vessel which docked with cargo later found to be sugar from Brazil.
