Thieves break into car of Ghanaians travelling from Accra to Dubai

A member of Wanderlust Ghana, the team travelling from Accra through Paris to Dubai on road has disclosed that they have been robbed en route Dubai.

Kwabena Peprah, a member of the Wanderlust Ghana team disclosed in a Facebook post on Friday, September 27 that the team was robbed in Krefeld, Germany on their 13th day of the journey to Dubai.

According to him, the robbers broke into one of the vehicles being used for the adventure, a Tacoma and made away with their personal stuffs including a passport belonging to a member of the team.

The team have since reported the incident which happened on Thursday, September 26 to the German police.

“I was dressing up when Saka knocked on my door that the receptionist had called him. The Tacoma has been burgled. Someone smashed the front window and took lots of stuff, including my wallet and possibly Kwame’s passport.”

“We are not allowed to touch the car before the police have had their turn and so at the moment, I’m sitting in a German police station waiting to file a report and go through the processes,” he said.

He said this could impact the trip for one of the team members whose passport and visa was taken away.

“If Kwame’s passport was in the car, I’m sure we can get a new one issued at the embassy in Berlin but the trip may be over for him because the other visas needed along the route will not be easy to reissue,” Peprah said.
