The Ahafo Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects believed to be part of a robbery syndicate that carried out a series of coordinated attacks at Nkasiem on December 2, 2025.
According to a statement issued by the Police and signed by Chief Inspector Kwadwo Boakye, Public Relations Officer for the Ahafo Regional Police Command, the gang launched simultaneous attacks on a gold buying company, a cocoa buying company, and attempted unsuccessfully to break into the vault of the Asutifi Rural Bank, all located within the same vicinity.
The robbers also seized two police rifles during the operation.
The assailants, who were armed with pump-action guns, shot and wounded a victim in the thigh. The injured person was treated and later discharged from St. Elizabeth Hospital in Hwidiem.
Police say a targeted intelligence-led operation led to the arrest of two of the suspects, while a manhunt is currently underway to apprehend the remaining members of the syndicate.
In response to the incident, the Inspector-General of Police has deployed a special anti-robbery team from the National Police Headquarters in Accra to support the regional command in tracking down the fugitives.
The Ahafo Regional Police Command has assured the public that every member of the criminal syndicate will be identified, arrested, and prosecuted.
