Security expert Richard Kumador is calling for enhanced international cooperation between Ghanaian law enforcement and INTERPOL to tackle the growing influx of stolen luxury vehicles into the country.
This recommendation comes after police recovered 43 high-end vehicles smuggled into Ghana, sparking fears about the country’s role in global car theft syndicates.
Kumador believes that early intervention through real-time intelligence sharing with international policing bodies such as INTERPOL could stop these stolen vehicles from ever reaching Ghana’s borders.
He emphasized that a proactive approach to tracking and verifying imported vehicles will not only protect Ghana’s image globally but also close gaps in national security.
Recent developments in cross-border criminal activity have placed West African nations under increasing scrutiny. Ghana, with its expanding automobile import market, is seen as a prime target for laundering stolen vehicles.
Analysts suggest that in addition to local enforcement, integration with global vehicle registration and theft alert systems is now a necessity to stay ahead of sophisticated criminal networks.
