Ten foreign nationals have been apprehended in Weija, located in the Greater Accra Region, for their suspected involvement in cybercrime operations, according to the Ghana Police Service.
The arrests followed a coordinated intelligence-driven operation conducted by the Cybercrime Unit of the Ghana Police Service in collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). In a statement shared via the Police Service’s official Facebook page, authorities revealed that the suspects include nationals from China and Malaysia.
Currently held in police custody, the individuals are assisting with ongoing investigations. Officers seized a significant haul of electronic equipment from the premises, including more than 800 mobile phones, multiple computers, and a wide array of charging devices. All the recovered items have been secured for detailed forensic analysis.
According to the police, this operation forms part of a broader campaign to dismantle organized cybercrime rings believed to be operating in parts of Accra. Investigators are now combing through the confiscated devices in search of digital evidence that could substantiate criminal charges.
Although the specific nature of the alleged offences has yet to be publicly detailed, the sheer quantity of electronic gear discovered has sparked concern about the scale and sophistication of the suspected criminal enterprise.
The Ghana Police Service, alongside its partner agencies, has intensified efforts in recent years to counter cybercrime—an increasingly complex threat affecting financial institutions, personal data security, and national digital infrastructure.
Authorities have assured the public that more information will be released as the investigation develops.
