Businessman allegedly swindles police officer over 2 auctioned vehicles 

A businessman is under investigation for allegedly defrauding a police officer over two auctioned vehicles. The incident came to light when the officer reported that he had paid 15,000 Ghanaian cedis for the cars, only to discover later that the businessman had no legitimate authority to sell them. According to reports, the officer was led to believe he was buying vehicles from an official police auction, but subsequent inquiries revealed that the auction process had not been conducted as claimed.

The police have initiated a probe into the matter and are currently gathering evidence to substantiate the officer's allegations. The purported swindler has yet to be apprehended, sparking concerns about potential misuse of public trust and integrity within vehicle auctions. This case underscores the importance of transparency in such transactions and serves as a cautionary tale for buyers to verify sellers' credentials before making significant purchases. As investigations continue, authorities are urging anyone with information regarding this scam to come forward and assist in holding those responsible accountable.
