In a recent case that unfolded in Kumasi, the police successfully recovered a stolen vehicle within 24 hours, showcasing the effectiveness of their intelligence-led operations.
The incident was reported on April 3, 2026, by Alfred Gyimah, a legal practitioner with Toto Legal Firm in Kumasi. According to the official report from the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) in the Ashanti Region, Mr. Gyimah’s unregistered 2019 Honda CR-V was stolen from his residence on April 2, 2026. The theft occurred within the premises of his fenced home, raising concerns about residential security.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the perpetrator(s) gained access to the house through the kitchen door.

The incident highlights the importance of securing personal belongings and adopting robust home security measures.
Upon receiving the report, a team from the PID promptly visited the scene and initiated an investigation. Leveraging their expertise in intelligence gathering and analysis, the police launched a swift and targeted operation to trace the stolen vehicle. Their efforts bore fruit when the car was located on April 4, 2026, along a stretch of road between Bohyen and the Asoufia Highway, near Asobonteng and close to Kumasi Girls Senior High School.
