Police recover stolen Honda CR-V in Kumasi within 48 hours

Police in the Ashanti Region have successfully recovered a stolen Honda CR-V just two days after it was taken from a lawyer’s residence in Kumasi.

The unregistered 2019 model vehicle was found along a stretch of road between Bohyen and the Asoufia Highway at Asobonteng, near Kumasi Girls Senior High School, on April 4, 2026.

According to a police situational report, Alfred Gyimah, a legal practitioner with Toto Legal Firm in Kumasi, reported the theft on April 3, 2026. He told police that the vehicle had been stolen a day earlier, on April 2, from the premises of his fenced house where it had been parked.

Preliminary investigations by the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) revealed that the suspect or suspects gained access to the complainant’s residence through the kitchen door, entered the house, and took the ignition keys which had been left on the dining table. The thieves then drove away with the vehicle.

“On April 4, 2026, covert intelligence led to the retrieval of the stolen vehicle at a section of the road that spans between Bohyen to Asoufia Highway at Asobonteng near Kumasi Girls SHS,” the report stated.

Police have since impounded the vehicle, and efforts are underway to track down and arrest those responsible. Investigations are ongoing.
