Police Trace Stolen Land Rover from Canada to Ghana

A Land Rover stolen from a Saskatoon business in Canada has been traced to Ghana, revealing an international fraud ring involved in identity theft and the acquisition of luxury vehicles. The investigation, initiated in January 2025, uncovered that a man from Alberta fraudulently purchased the vehicle on January 14, 2025, using stolen identity documents. After being transported to British Columbia, the vehicle was discovered to be en route to Ghana with assistance from the Canada Border Services Agency and Edmonton police. The investigation also linked the suspect to another fraudulent purchase of a BMW X5 on February 3, 2025, using a modified Quebec driver's license. The suspect has been arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including fraud and theft. Meanwhile, Ghana's Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has been proactive in intercepting stolen vehicles at the ports, having established a specialized task force in August 2025 to address this issue. This task force aims to seize high-end vehicles reported stolen abroad that are cleared through Ghana's ports, highlighting ongoing efforts to combat vehicle theft and fraud.
