During a tour of the crime scene granted to the press, Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat, Richard Jakpa, said the money boxes were Authentic Bank of Ghana property.
The Sapeiman bust took place in February and unearthed a large-scale forgery ring operating behind a seemingly abandoned building disguised as a local battery-charging shop.
