A vehicle bearing the registration number APT 618 was apprehended while attempting to cross the border between Sierra Leone and Guinea. The vehicle was found to be laden with a substantial amount of narcotics, specifically Kush and Cannabis.
Four individuals, including a woman, have been taken into custody to assist the police in their ongoing investigation.
