  "summary": "The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with Interpol, has made significant strides in combating cybercrime by arresting 68 suspects and seizing over 800 digital devices. Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, revealed that the operation also identified 108 victims and recovered funds amounting to more than US$450,000. Speaking at the launch of the 2026 National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Donkor emphasized the significance of intelligence-led policing and international collaboration in dismantling complex cybercrime networks. She highlighted the expanding capacity of the Police Service to investigate technology-driven crimes through improved digital forensics, cyber intelligence, and virtual asset investigations. Donkor stressed the importance of continued collaboration with both domestic and international law enforcement agencies to effectively track and apprehend cybercriminals, as cybercrime remains a borderless threat.",
