Police in the Eastern Region have arrested Solomon Siaw Tetteh, the alleged mastermind of a carjacking syndicate notorious for stealing vehicles and converting them into coal pots in the Krobo enclave.

The arrest, which took place on Sunday, 18 May 2025, in Nuaso, Lower Manya Krobo Municipality, follows a series of car thefts reported in areas including Nkurakan, Asesewa, Somanya, and Ada Magazine.

Tetteh according to a report by citinewsroom.com, had evaded capture during a police raid at his Nuaso residence last week, where three of his accomplices were apprehended.

However, intelligence gathered by investigators led to his arrest at another hideout in Nuaso.
