Kumasi Car Theft Syndicate Dismantled: Four Suspects Arrested
Police in Kumasi have successfully dismantled a notorious car theft syndicate, arresting four suspects believed to be behind a series of violent robberies in the Ashanti Region. The operation, carried out by a specialized anti-crime unit, followed weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering on the gang’s activities.
According to authorities, the syndicate had terrorized residents by targeting vehicles in busy neighborhoods and commercial areas. Victims reported that the gang operated with precision, often disabling security systems before making away with cars. The arrests mark a significant breakthrough in efforts to curb organized crime in the region.
Investigations revealed that the suspects were part of a wider network linked to stolen vehicle trafficking across multiple districts. Police say the gang’s dismantling will help reduce the rising cases of car theft and restore public confidence in security measures. Items retrieved during the operation included tools used for breaking into vehicles and documents suspected to be linked to fraudulent registrations.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has assured the public that further investigations are underway to identify additional accomplices and recover stolen vehicles. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement by reporting suspicious activities. The arrests, they emphasized, demonstrate the commitment of security agencies to protect lives and property in Kumasi and beyond.
