A joint operation by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has led to the arrest of 39 people in a cybercrime raid at Adom City Estate, Tema Community 25, in the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n

The arrests were made in the early hours of Thursday, August 21, 2025, after weeks of intelligence-led surveillance on a suspected cyber fraud hub believed to be operating in the residential area.<\/p>\n

Officials said the swoop was part of ongoing efforts to tackle online fraud networks across the country.<\/p>\n

Among those arrested were three individuals believed to be minors.<\/p>\n

Security officers seized laptops, digital devices and other materials, which are to undergo forensic analysis to support investigations.<\/p>\n

The Cyber Security Authority said all 39 suspects are currently in police custody and will be processed for court.<\/p>\n

The operation, which involved heavy security presence, was aimed at disrupting organised online fraud groups targeting individuals and institutions.<\/p>\n

The Authority noted that the action forms part of a national strategy to combat internet fraud, financial scams and other cyber-enabled crimes that continue to affect Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

The CSA has called on the public to remain alert and to report suspected fraudulent activities by calling or texting 292, or through WhatsApp on 0501603111.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
