A member of Wanderlust Ghana, the team traveling from Accra through Paris to Dubai by road, has reported that they were robbed on their journey.
Kwabena Peprah, a member of the Wanderlust Ghana team, shared in a Facebook post on Friday, September 27, that the robbery occurred in Krefeld, Germany, on the 13th day of their trip to Dubai.
He revealed that the thieves broke into one of their vehicles, a Tacoma, and stole several personal items, including a passport belonging to one of the team members.
The incident, which took place on Thursday, September 26, has since been reported to the German police.
“I was getting dressed when Saka knocked on my door to inform me that the receptionist had called him.
The Tacoma was broken into; someone smashed the front window and took many belongings, 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.
