Police Recover Stolen Toyota Hilux pick-up Vehicle after Shooting Suspect Dead
One suspect has died in a successful recovery operation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
In a robbery incident on December 4, 2025, armed men attacked a complainant in her room and made away with her Toyota Hilux pick-up vehicle, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and other personal belongings.
Sustained intelligence gathering led the police to the location of a suspect identified as Clement Kofi Aidoo.
During his arrest, a police statement reported that he attempted to attack the officers but was shot and injured in the process.
He was rushed to the Police Hospital for treatment, where he was pronounced dead while receiving medical attention.
Meanwhile, the police said they retrieved the stolen Toyota Hilux pick-up, the complainant’s phone, and several documents from the suspect.
Further investigations linked the deceased suspect to a similar car theft.
“Further checks established that in November 2025, the same suspect absconded with a Toyota Camry vehicle belonging to a police officer who, through a recruitment agency, had engaged the suspect to care for his ailing father. The vehicle was later recovered in the Central Region after it was abandoned by the suspect following a chase by the police.”
