Police in the Tema Region have arrested six individuals. They are accused of being part of a group that tricked people into paying money.

The suspects allegedly promised to help travellers get visas to go to Europe. They are said to have taken large sums of money from these hopeful travellers.

The Tema Regional Police Command confirmed the arrests. Authorities are investigating the full extent of the alleged fraud syndicate.

This operation is part of ongoing efforts by the Ghana Police Service to combat financial crimes and protect citizens from scams.

Further investigations are underway to identify any other members of the syndicate and recover any stolen funds.

Those arrested will face charges related to fraud and deception.

The police are urging the public to be cautious of schemes promising quick or guaranteed travel documents.
