Autodata Ghana is partnering with Interpol to step up public awareness on stolen vehicles and the importance of verifying car documents before purchase.
The President of Autodata Ghana, Mr. William Boadi, led a team of executives to the Ghana Police Headquarters, where they met with the Head of Interpol to discuss ways of preventing the circulation of stolen cars in the country.
According to the Executive Secretary of Autodata Ghana, Mr. George Dumenu, the move follows a 2023 operation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and foreign security partners, which uncovered several stolen vehicles hidden in local garages. Some dealers and car owners, including public figures, were arrested after investigations showed their vehicles had been stolen abroad.
Mr. Dumenu described the situation as worrying, saying many victims were unaware their cars were stolen. “The question now is, who could be next? Anyone could fall victim, from pastors and lawyers to government officials,” he warned.
He praised Interpol for opening its doors to the public to verify car documents before buying. “This is a great step forward,” he said. “Autodata Ghana is committed to supporting this initiative and educating the public to avoid future embarrassment.”
The collaboration aims to build public trust, reduce crime, and protect innocent buyers from falling victim to international vehicle theft syndicates.
