Accra police have arrested a 70-year-old woman. The arrest is linked to an ATM card swapping syndicate. This group operates by deceiving bank customers.
The police believe the woman was part of a larger network. This network targeted individuals using automated teller machines.
The woman was apprehended in Accra. She is currently assisting the Ghana Police Service with their investigation.
Authorities suspect the syndicate's members would swap victims' ATM cards. They would then use the stolen cards to withdraw money.
The Ghana Police Service is working to identify and arrest other members of the group. They urge the public to be vigilant when using ATMs.
Further details on the ongoing investigation are expected.
