The Ghana Police Service has arrested two individuals in connection with the illegal tampering of mobile phones belonging to a credit sales company at Wassa Akropong in the Western Region.
The suspects, Machiavelli Arthur and Gideon Ebenezer—both phone repairers operating in the area—were picked up on June 19, 2025, following an intelligence-led operation by the Police.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects had been using laptops and other electronic tools to unlock, bypass, and flash mobile phones sold on credit. Their actions enabled customers who defaulted on payment to continue using the devices without settling their debts.
During interrogation, both suspects admitted to using specialized software to carry out these unlawful activities. Items retrieved from them include laptops and various electronic devices used in the unlocking and flashing process.
The suspects are currently in Police custody assisting with investigations and are expected to be arraigned before court in the coming days.
