A taskforce made up of the Police, Environmental Health Officials and media personnel supervised the destruction of exhibits in the custody of the Hohoe Police Divisional Command.
The items are Indian hemp weighing about 700 kilogrammes, heroin, cocaine and pharmaceutical products.
Mr Kartey Otumi, Hohoe Divisional Crime Officer who led the taskforce, said the exercise was sanctioned by the courts in efforts to decongest the exhibit rooms and it would be undertaken in phases.
He said other items to be destroyed or auctioned are the Ghana Police Diaries (Station Diary), case dockets spanning over three decades as well as motorcycles, bicycles and accident vehicles.
Mr Otumi said the slow pace of court procedures and processes was responsible for the seeming delay in the destruction of the items, adding “court process is not an event but a process.”
