Ashaiman police arrest two suspects with suspected stolen vehicle parts

The Ashaiman District Police Command has arrested two suspects for allegedly possessing suspected stolen vehicle parts during a routine night patrol at the Ashaiman Roundabout.

The suspects, identified as John Atsu and Jonathan Puplampu, were arrested at about 2:55 a.m. on Monday, June 16, 2026, by a police patrol team led by Chief Inspector Prosper K. Amponsah.

According to the Ashaiman District Police Commander, DSP Orlando Joseph Dzokpa, officers intercepted a taxi cab carrying several vehicle components during the operation.

The items retrieved from the suspects included clutch boosters, two boxes of fuel injectors, two boxes of mounting top lights, and a pair of headlights.

Police said the suspects were unable to provide documents covering the items when questioned, raising suspicion that the vehicle parts may have been stolen.

The exhibits have since been secured to aid ongoing investigations.

The suspects have had their caution statements taken and remain in police custody assisting with investigations.

Police indicated that the suspects are expected to help identify and lead to the arrest of other individuals who may be connected to the alleged crime. A visit to the suspected crime scene is also expected to form part of the ongoing investigations.
