According to Starr FM, the suspect is part of a drug peddling syndicate that is processing weed into different products such as cakes and toffees for unsuspecting customers.
According to Starr News’ reporter Kojo Ansah, many drug peddlers in the region are resorting to such measures to ply their trade in order to evade arrest by the police.
“This is a new way by the peddlers to swerve the police from arresting them. So they are now producing and processing different kind of foods made of marijuana.

“Currently, different kinds of products such as cakes and toffees are on the market and are being sold to students, especially in Nkawkaw and other areas. As a result the police has scaled up their surveillance in the region,” Ansah noted.
