The Ghana Police Service has retrieved a stolen Toyota Hilux pick-up and other items following an intelligence-led operation into a residential robbery reported on December 4, 2025.
The operation also led to the identification of a prime suspect linked to the incident.
In a statement signed by Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, Public Relations Officer of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the Police said armed attackers stormed the room of a female complainant and made away with her Toyota Hilux, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and other personal belongings.
After weeks of intelligence gathering, officers tracked a suspect identified as Clement Kofi Aidoo, also known as Joseph Abequaye, Yaw, and Paddy.
According to the Police, the suspect resisted arrest and allegedly attacked officers during an attempt to apprehend him, prompting officers to return fire.
He sustained gunshot wounds and was rushed to the Police Hospital, where he was pronounced dead while receiving treatment.
A subsequent search led to the recovery of the stolen Toyota Hilux, the victim’s mobile phone, and several documents believed to be linked to criminal activity.
Investigators further established that in November 2025, the same suspect allegedly made away with a Toyota Camry belonging to a police officer who had engaged him through a recruitment agency to care for his sick father.
That vehicle was later retrieved in the Central Region after the suspect abandoned it during a police pursuit.
The Service reaffirmed its resolve to dismantle criminal networks, recover stolen property, and ensure that those involved in violent crime are brought to justice.
