Ghana Car Dealers Clear Air on Stolen US Vehicles

Following the recent crackdown on stolen vehicles, with over 100 US cars traced to Ghana, the Executive Secretary of the Vehicle and Assets Dealers Union of Ghana (VADUG), Frank Atanley Kofigah, has insisted that car dealers are not responsible for the situation.

At a press briefing on August 4, 2025, CID Director-General COP Lydia Yaako Donkor underscored the urgency of the operation, revealing that criminal groups were routinely exploiting international car rental services—particularly in Canada—to rent luxury vehicles using fake or stolen identities, ship them abroad while the rental agreements remained valid, and then default on payments before cutting off contact with rental companies.
