A major international police operation has uncovered a sprawling vehicle trafficking network across West Africa, leading to the discovery of around 150 stolen vehicles and the seizure of more than 75.
Among these, dozens were found to have been trafficked from Canada to Ghana and other countries in the sub-region.
The two-week operation, dubbed Operation Safe Wheels, was coordinated by INTERPOL and brought together security forces from Ghana, Nigeria, and ten other West African nations.
The crackdown, conducted between March 17 and March 30, also resulted in 18 new investigations and the identification of two organized crime syndicates.
