Ghana Police, GRA Arrest 10 Foreign Nationals in Cybercrime Operation at Weija

In a joint intelligence-led operation, the Cybercrime Unit of the Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), has arrested ten foreign nationals suspected of engaging in cybercrime activities.

The operation, conducted at Weija in the Greater Accra Region, led to the arrest of individuals identified as Chinese and Malaysian nationals. All suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with ongoing investigations.

A significant cache of items believed to be used in the commission of cyber-related crimes was retrieved at the scene. These include:

• Several laptop computers

• Multiple charging devices and accessories

The seized items have been retained for forensic analysis to support the investigation and build a case for potential prosecution.

Police sources indicate that this latest bust forms part of a broader strategy to clamp down on cybercrime syndicates, especially those involving foreign operatives using Ghana as a base of operations.

Authorities have assured the public of their continued commitment to safeguarding the country’s digital space and urged residents to report any suspicious online activity.
