The Western Central Regional Police Command has apprehended two suspects in connection with an attempted robbery near Asankragua in the Western Region of Ghana. This development was announced via a post on the official Facebook page of the Ghana Police Service.
The suspects, identified as 28-year-old Mohammed Abdul-Salam and 42-year-old Karim Yakubu, were reportedly discovered hiding in a bush along a section of the road. Their suspicious behaviour attracted the attention of a police patrol team. Upon realizing they had been spotted, the suspects attempted to flee, prompting a swift response from the officers.
The dramatic chase led the police to an abandoned mining site, where the suspects attempted to evade capture by leaping into a muddy pit. Despite the challenging terrain, the officers successfully rescued and apprehended the suspects.
A subsequent search at the scene revealed a shotgun, three AAA cartridges, and a Nokia keypad mobile phone, all of which were seized as evidence.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed in their statement that the suspects are currently in custody and are assisting with investigations. The police have assured the public of their continued commitment to maintaining law and order in the region.
Further updates on this case are expected as investigations progress.
