Police in the Central Region have arrested three suspects in connection with an alleged car theft scheme believed to be operated by a coordinated syndicate in Kasoa.
According to information available to GhanaCrimes, the suspects allegedly approached a vehicle owner and agreed to purchase a car using a signed cheque valued at GH¢210,000. Police say the cheque initially reflected in the complainant’s bank account, leading him to release the vehicle to the suspects.
However, the transaction later took a suspicious turn when the amount was reversed by the bank. The complainant reportedly made several attempts to contact the buyers after noticing the reversal, but all efforts failed as the suspects had switched off their mobile phones.
The matter was subsequently reported to the police, prompting investigations that led to the arrest of three individuals believed to be connected to the transaction. Authorities say the suspects are currently in custody assisting with investigations.
Police are treating the case as suspected fraud and vehicle theft and are working to establish whether the suspects are linked to other similar incidents in Kasoa and surrounding areas. The identity of the suspects has not yet been officially released, and no formal charges have been announced as of the time of reporting.
