Police said the arrest followed vehicular “stop-and-search” operations along the Kasoa–Ofaakor–Bawjiase–Swedru Road as part of efforts to ensure a crime-free Easter. The suspects were travelling in a Toyota Hiace “fish” vehicle with registration number GB 6246-22.
“Upon a thorough search of the vehicle, police discovered twenty-one (21) assorted mobile phones believed to have been stolen by the suspects,” the police statement read.
Preliminary investigations indicate the suspects carried out a mobile phone “stealing spree” during the Easter celebrations, targeting victims in Agona Swedru. The owners of the stolen devices are yet to be identified.
The suspects are currently in police custody assisting with further investigations and may face prosecution. Police have retained the recovered mobile phones as exhibits and urged anyone who believes they are a victim to visit the Kasoa Divisional Police Command for identification and collection.
