The Western Central Regional Police Command has arrested five suspects in connection with a robbery at a mining site in Dompim, located in the Western Region.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the five armed men attacked the mining site, robbing workers of gold concentrate amidst gunfire.
In a statement, the Police Public Affairs Unit explained that one of the suspects, Akwasi Abban, was apprehended at the scene by workers, while the others managed to escape.
“Suspect Akwasi Abban admitted to the robbery and mentioned the site foreman, Ebenezer Soore, as the person who provided information to the robbery syndicate,” the statement added.
This confession led to the arrest of Soore and three other accomplices: Elijah Arthur, alias Possible; Elisha Arthur, alias Skonzy; and David Agyarko, alias Big Man, on June 2, 2025.
“All the suspects have since been put before court and remanded into prison custody,” the release noted.
