A Police statement issued on Saturday said CVET received a report on May 25, 2026, regarding the theft of an unregistered blue Hyundai Elantra from its owner at Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region.
Following the report, a team launched a digital and intelligence-led investigation and successfully tracked the stolen vehicle to a hideout at Roman Down, Asamankese, also in the Eastern Region.
The statement said the team collaborated with the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) detachment in the area and subsequently arrested the suspects.
Two additional stolen vehicles were retrieved from the suspects during the operation.
The statement said all seven suspects are in custody assisting with investigations, while the three vehicles had been impounded.
Efforts were underway to recover more stolen vehicles believed to be in the possession of the group, it said.
The statement appealed to the public to volunteer information on suspected vehicle theft or car-jacking syndicates operating within their communities.
