The suspect is accused of using a private ambulance to transport large quantities of cannabis.
The arrest was made on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, after extensive surveillance efforts by law enforcement.
Officers intercepted a Hyundai Hiace ambulance with the registration number GX 277-20 in front of the Jamboree Drinking Spot at Labadi Maami.
According to a statement from the police, Tuanda was found beside the ambulance and claimed ownership of both the vehicle and its contents.
A thorough search revealed multiple sacks filled with dried leaves believed to be cannabis. In total, police seized 700 parcels and 473 wrappers of the suspected narcotics.
Initial investigations indicate that the ambulance was loaded with the drugs in Kpando, located in the Volta North Region, before being transported to Accra for distribution. Tuanda admitted that he has been involved in this illegal trade since last year.
Further inquiry uncovered that Tuanda had initially purchased the vehicle as a standard car before retrofitting it with a siren and branding it as an ambulance.
Before using the Hyundai Hiace, he reportedly employed a Toyota Highlander for similar illicit activities.
The police also noted that he was using the ambulance for transporting corpses alongside his drug trafficking ventures.
The vehicle has been impounded, and the confiscated items will be sent to the Police Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis. Tuanda is currently being processed for court, as investigations continue.
Following this case, the Accra Regional Police Command has urged the public to be vigilant against the misuse of legitimate service vehicles for criminal activities and reaffirms its dedication to combating drug trafficking……CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
