A 27-year-old suspected driver, Micheal Kwabena Rockson, has been arrested by the Accra Regional Police Command for stealing a Land Rover Freelander. The suspect allegedly stole the vehicle with registration number GB6708-12 which was parked in front of a house at Paraku Estates on the Spintex Road on May 17, 2013. Police arrested the suspect after he attempted to sell the vehicle at Abokobi. Confirming the story to Daily Guide, Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, DCOP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, said the Land Rover Freelander was reported missing around 10:40am that fateful day. Upon receiving information, police strategized and mounted a search for the stolen vehicle. At about 12:30pm that same day, through police intelligence, the command gathered that the suspect who stole the vehicle was spotted on the Oyarifa road. Police dispatched a team of detectives to the aforementioned place and mounted a search for the stolen vehicle as well as occupants on board. Suspect Michael was however spotted with the stolen vehicle, offering it for sale. The team mapped up a strategy and got the suspect arrested together with the stolen vehicle at Abokobi. Upon interrogation, Michael admitted the offence and would be sent to court soon. In another development, on May 16, 2013 at about 3:20am, the police received information that a Black Nissan Frontier Pick-Up with trial plate number DV 3999-13 was found parked in a bush at Amanfrom near Amasaman.

On May 18, 2013, one Ishahaku Mohommed came to the station and identified the vehicle as his. According to him, the vehicle was snatched from him at gunpoint on May 14, 2013 around 8:30pm at Afienya.
