Stolen car in Canada found in Ghana
A vehicle stolen from a Saskatoon business in Canada was traced to Ghana.
This was part of an international fraud ring that uses identity theft and forged documents to acquire luxury vehicles before shipping them to West Africa.
SaskToday reported that a fraud investigation that started in January 2025 showed the international connections, with a Land Rover stolen from a business on Faithfull Avenue eventually found in Ghana.
According to police, a man from Alberta visited the business on January 14, 2025 and purchased a Land Rover. It was later realised that the vehicle was bought using identity fraud.
The Police found out that the vehicle had been taken to British Columbia and shipped to Ghana. The Edmonton police and the Canada Border Services Agency helped with the investigation.
Officers later confirmed the vehicle was in Ghana.
