Police in Kumasi have arrested a 70-year-old woman. She is suspected of being part of a SIM-box fraud operation.
The arrest happened at her home in Kumasi. Authorities seized items used in the illegal activity.
Items confiscated include several SIM cards. A SIM-box device and other telecommunication equipment were also found.
The Ghana Police Service is investigating the matter further.
SIM-box fraud allows criminals to make international calls appear as local ones. This can bypass expensive international charges.
The woman is undergoing questioning. Police stated that further investigations are ongoing.
