The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has obtained a court order authorising the seizure of vehicles suspected with being stolen and smuggled into the country.
EOCO in a statement noted that the freezing order from the court would empower them to seize 95 more vehicles.
This, as per them will add up to 41 others seized earlier in a joint effort with the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in December 2022.
EOCO added that the court order obtained would also limit anybody from disposing the vehicles.
As per the statement, information available to EOCO shows that about 400 luxury vehicles suspected to have been stolen from the USA and Canada were in the country.
The said vehicles were alleged to have been obtained through fraud and other crimes and sent into the country, with some being displayed to be purchased in various garages in Accra.
Culprits will face the law - EOCO on alleged stolen vehicles
In the mean time, the Deputy Head of EOCO, Nana Antwi says the culprits will face the law.
As per him, albeit the vehicles shouldn't be visible in the garages, EOCO is convinced that the vehicles are in the country, adding that "they would be taken consistently."
"We are currently requesting special documents or orders to do a publication of those suspects vehicles, we have their chassis numbers and ask those in possession to voluntarily submit, failing which we will draw a plan to get every one of them," he said.
