Police seized a truck carrying electrical cables suspected to be stolen from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) at Tema Port.
The driver and three passengers were arrested and are in custody.
Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng wrote on Facebook " A few days ago, a truck carrying cables broke down in Gomoa Awombrew, a town in my constituency, prompting residents to suspect that the cargo might be part of the missing ECG goods.
“Acting on their suspicion, they promptly reported the matter to the Swedru Divisional Police Command, which dispatched officers alongside ECG officials to inspect the cargo.”
“During the inspection, the driver was unable to provide credible information about the source and destination of the goods, and according to the police, the waybill appeared suspicious.”
“After a thorough examination, ECG officials confirmed that the cables closely matched their missing items. As a result, the driver, his assistant, and all individuals involved have been taken into police custody pending further investigation. Additionally, the police have invited National Security to assist in the investigation.”
