An investigation by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has revealed a growing trend in the illegal shipment of stolen vehicles from the United States to West Africa, with Ghana listed as a key destination.
These stolen cars are often concealed in containers and shipped through busy ports such as Norfolk-Newport News in Virginia, with criminals using sophisticated tactics to avoid detection.
At the Port of Virginia, CBP officers recently intercepted a container headed for Ghana.
Inside were three high-value vehicles that did not match the contents declared on the shipping documents.
