The Western Central Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with a robbery attack at Jukwa near Afransie in the Western Region.
A statement released by the police said the suspects were arrested on July 15, 2025, after they allegedly attacked a Toyota Hilux pickup with registration number GT 7426-23, which was transporting gold concentrate from a mining site to Wassa Akropong.
The occupants of the vehicle included the driver, Kofi Gyamfi; a security guard, Bashiru; and one other person.
The robbers ambushed the vehicle and made away with the gold concentrate.
Following a swift response by the police, one of the suspects, Foster Peprah—a small-scale miner—was arrested at the scene.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Foster carried out the robbery with one Isaac, who is currently on the run.
During interrogation, Foster implicated Kofi Gyamfi, the driver, as the one who provided information that led to the robbery.
Gyamfi was later arrested and, in turn, named Bashiru, the security guard, as the mastermind behind the plot.
Bashiru was subsequently apprehended at his hideout in Wassa Gyedua.
All three suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations, while efforts are underway to arrest the fugitive, Isaac.
