The Central East Regional Command of the Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with a series of fraudulent electronic transactions that saw more than ¢20,000 withdrawn from a customer’s bank account in Kasoa.

The suspects, Prince Boadu, 26; Emmanuel Adjei Opoku, 26; and Eric Owusu, 23, are believed to have carried out the offences in 2025.

According to a police statement, the victim reported the unauthorised deductions on November 2, 2025, after noticing discrepancies in his account.

He had deposited GH¢20,180.00 on October 16, but by October 31, ¢20,144.06 had been withdrawn without his consent.

The bank later confirmed that the transactions were fraudulent, triggering an intelligence-led investigation by the Police Intelligence Directorate.

The suspects were apprehended on March 17, 2026, at their hideout in Tema.

During the operation, police recovered several exhibits, including assorted mobile phones, SIM cards from MTN, AirtelTigo, and Telecel, as well as laptops, routers, and other computer-related equipment.

The three individuals are currently in police custody assisting with investigations and are expected to be arraigned in court soon.

The Ghana Police Service reiterated its commitment to combating fraud and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable under the law.
