Two members of a robbery syndicate behind a coordinated attack on multiple businesses in Nkasiem, Ahafo Region, have been arrested following a targeted police operation.
The gang, armed with pump-action guns, launched simultaneous attacks on a gold buying company and a cocoa buying company on 2 December 2025.
They also made an unsuccessful attempt to break into the vault of the Asutifi Rural Bank, all located within the same enclave. In the course of the operation, the robbers seized two police rifles.
One person was shot in the thigh during the incident and was later treated and discharged at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Hwidiem.
Police say intelligence-led efforts quickly led to the arrest of two suspects, while the remaining members of the syndicate fled. A manhunt is currently underway to track them down.
In response to the attack, the Inspector-General of Police has deployed a special anti-robbery team from the National Police Headquarters in Accra to support the Ahafo Regional Command in pursuing the fleeing suspects.
The Police Command has assured residents that every member of the criminal group will be identified, arrested, and made to face the full rigours of the law.
