The Ghana Police Service has recovered a stolen vehicle and other exhibits following an intelligence-led operation into a residential robbery case.
In a press release issued by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on February 11, 2026, police said the breakthrough follows investigations into an armed robbery that occurred on December 4, 2025.
According to the police, armed men attacked a complainant in her room and made away with her Toyota Hilux pick-up vehicle, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and other personal belongings.
After weeks of sustained intelligence gathering, officers tracked down a suspect identified as Clement Kofi Aidoo, also known by the aliases Joseph Abequaye, Yaw, and Paddy.
Police said the suspect attempted to attack officers during the operation and was shot and injured in the process. He was rushed to the Police Hospital for treatment but was pronounced dead while receiving medical care.
A subsequent search led to the recovery of the stolen Toyota Hilux, the complainant’s mobile phone, and several documents from the suspect.
Further investigations revealed that in November 2025, the same suspect allegedly made away with a Toyota Camry belonging to a police officer. The officer had reportedly engaged him through a recruitment agency to care for his ailing father. The vehicle was later recovered in the Central Region after the suspect abandoned it during a police chase.
The Ghana Police Service has assured the public of its continued commitment to dismantling criminal networks, retrieving stolen property, and ensuring that individuals involved in violent crimes are brought to justice.
