KUMASI: NOTORIOUS GANG THAT TARGETS BANK CUSTOMER'S AND BREAK INTO CARS BUSTED.

 KUMASI: NOTORIOUS GANG THAT TARGETS BANK CUSTOMER'S AND BREAK INTO CARS BUSTED.


The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested five suspected criminals in Kumasi for allegedly breaking into vehicles to steal money, mainly from people who had just withdrawn cash from banks. The police believe these suspects are part of a group that has been operating in different parts of the Kumasi Metropolis for some time.

According to the police, the gang is noted for targeting individuals who visit banks to withdraw money. After identifying their victims, they secretly trail them, patiently waiting for an opportunity to break into their parked vehicles to steal the money, especially when the victims are distracted or away from their cars.

The arrests were made at different locations within Kumasi after weeks of police surveillance and intelligence-led operations. During these operations, items believed to be tools used for breaking into vehicles were retrieved from the suspects.

The police suspect that the five individuals are connected to several cases where people reported losing large sums of money from their vehicles, particularly after visiting banks in Kumasi.

The Ashanti Regional Police Command says investigations are still ongoing. They are working to gather more evidence, identify other possible members of the group, and recover stolen money or items.

Meanwhile, the police have advised residents, especially those withdrawing large sums of money from banks, to be extra cautious. They urged the public to avoid leaving money or valuables unattended in vehicles and to report any suspicious behaviour to the nearest police station.

The arrested suspects are currently in police custody and will soon be arraigned before court to face charges related to their alleged involvement in the thefts.

      These faces are blurred in the image on graphic online and this could be due to privacy rights, avoidance of defamation , public safety and prevention of vigilantism.

GHANA'S COOPERATION WITH THE FBI: A WIN FOR INTERNATIONAL CRIME-FIGHTING By Cassandra Duku June 28, 2025   Story Source:Graphic online      Ghana’s recent cooperation with the FBI in extraditing individuals suspected of cyber-related fraud underscores the country’s growing role in combating transnational crime. The move follows due legal processes, including judicial warrants and the approval of the Attorney-General's Department, reflecting a strong adherence to both Ghana’s laws and its international obligations.    The suspects in question were reportedly involved in fraudulent activities targeting American citizens through online romance scams and business email compromises. These crimes, though initiated abroad, often have significant impacts in the United States, making international cooperation essential for justice.      Some critics have questioned whether allowing the FBI to operate in Ghana undermines national sovereig...

My New Media Class Experience – Week 3

 📘 My New Media Class Experience – Week 3 Week 3 of our New Media class was one of the most insightful sessions so far. Today, we moved beyond the basics and focused deeply on social media campaigns — what they are, why they matter, and how organisations use them to reach their goals. The class opened my eyes to how strategic and intentional digital communication has to be, especially in our highly competitive online environment. A campaign is not just posting content. It is an organised and active effort toward achieving a specific goal, such as creating awareness, promoting a product, encouraging public action, or building a community. Understanding this foundation helped me see why many brands succeed online while others struggle. 📍 Understanding What a Social Media Campaign Really Means Our lecturer explained that a social media campaign is a structured marketing effort that uses one or more social media platforms (like Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, etc.) to support a busin...

Today’s Little Victories as a Student

 🌞 Today’s Little Victories as a Student Today wasn’t perfect, but it came with a few small victories that made me smile — and honestly, that’s enough for me as a student. I arrived in class earlier than usual, which already felt like an achievement. I had time to sit, breathe, and mentally prepare before the lesson started. For once, I wasn’t rushing like a character in an action movie. That alone set a good tone for the day. When the lecture began, something surprising happened — I actually understood the topic. Not halfway. Not “I think I get it.” I understood it clearly. And that feeling gave me a boost of confidence I didn’t even know I needed. Break time was calm too. I spent a moment talking with classmates, laughing about school stress, and realizing that we’re all just trying our best. Sometimes, knowing you’re not alone in the chaos makes everything feel lighter. The rest of the day moved smoothly — no surprise quizzes, no group work drama, no unexpected deadlines. Just ...
