The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested five suspected members of a criminal syndicate believed to be involved in a series of armed robbery and landguard activities at Sapeiman Faase in the Greater Accra Region.
The suspects were arrested on Friday, July 17, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation conducted jointly by the Accra Regional Police Command and the National Police Intelligence Directorate (NPID).
In a statement issued on Monday, July 20, the Police identified the suspects as Torgbui Agah Semaglo, 50; Shadrach Agah Semaglo, 22; William Kweku Sedanu, 21; Cyril Kassenu, 26; and Kingsford Agah Semaglo, 18.
According to the Police, preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects are part of a criminal network allegedly involved in armed robbery and landguard operations in Sapeiman and nearby communities.
A search conducted at their premises led to the recovery of several weapons and other items, including a pump-action gun, a Stoeger ST-R9 pistol, a dummy Austria pistol, a jackknife, a face mask, 12 BB cartridges, three rounds of 9mm ammunition, an AK-47 round, a talisman, and two kitchen knives.
Investigators believe the items were used by the group to intimidate and terrorise residents in the area.
“All retrieved items have been secured as exhibits for evidential purposes,” the Police said.
The five suspects remain in police custody and are assisting with investigations as authorities work to establish their involvement in other robbery incidents and related criminal activities.
The Police also said efforts are ongoing to track down other suspected members of the syndicate.
The Accra Regional Police Command commended members of the public whose information contributed to the successful operation and urged residents to continue reporting suspicious activities to the nearest police station or through the emergency lines.
The Command reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of residents across the Greater Accra Region.
