A Suspected ‘stolen’ Land Cruiser has been retrieved at Ashaiman

Some very watchful members of the Ashaiman Lebanon community Zone 5 have hijacked an allegedly stolen government vehicle.

The Toyota 4×4 SUV Land cruiser with registered number GV 2155-14, was found in a mechanic shop at Lebanon in Ashaiman.

Reports from the residents of where the incident occurred say they felt quite suspicious and questioned the mechanic when they saw him dismantle the fairly new car although it was in proper condition.

The dubious residents reported their hunch of the vehicle being stolen to the police.

When the police arrived at the shop, the doors of the vehicle had been dismantled with the batteries also removed.

According to the residents, Daniel Korletey who owns the shop, told the police that the purpoted stolen vehicle was from his relative in Sunyani.

The Divisional Commander of the Ashaiman Police Unit, ASP Adika confirmed to journalists that the incident had occurred but it was too early to make any conclusions as investigations into the issue are still ongoing.

The vehicle has since been towed to the Ashaiman Divisional Police headquarters with the mechanic assisting in investigations.
