The Ghana Police Service has recovered a stolen Toyota Hilux pick-up and other items following an intelligence-led operation into a residential robbery incident.
According to a press release issued by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on February 11, 2026, the robbery occurred on December 4, 2025, when armed men attacked a woman in her room and made away with her Toyota Hilux, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and other personal belongings.
Following sustained intelligence gathering, police identified a suspect as Clement Kofi Aidoo, also known by the aliases Joseph Abequaye, Yaw, and Paddy.
The statement said the suspect allegedly attempted to attack officers during the operation but was shot and injured in the process. He was rushed to the Police Hospital for treatment, where he was later pronounced dead while receiving medical care.
Police retrieved the stolen Toyota Hilux, the complainant’s mobile phone, and several documents from the suspect.
Further investigations revealed that in November 2025, the same suspect allegedly absconded with a Toyota Camry belonging to a police officer. The vehicle had been entrusted to him through a recruitment agency to care for the officer’s ailing father. The car was later recovered in the Central Region after being abandoned following a police chase.
The Ghana Police Service has reaffirmed its commitment to dismantling criminal networks, recovering stolen property, and ensuring that individuals involved in violent crimes are brought to justice.
The statement was signed by Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, Public Relations Officer of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
