The Central North Regional Police Command have arrested three suspects for robbery at Ntow-Krom near Sekyem in the Central Region.
The suspects were arrested on 25th June 2025, following intelligence received that three unidentified young men had attacked a gold dealer at Sekyem, fired shots at him, assaulted him and fled the scene on a motorbike.
A swift response from both the Assin Foso Division and the Assin Foso District Police led to the arrest of the suspects at a snap checkpoint at Assin Nyankumase. During the arrest, the suspects attempted to dispose of the firearm used in the robbery by throwing it into a nearby bush. However, a search of the area led to the retrieval of a pump-action gun and a spent cartridge and a machete. One other pump-action gun was also retrieved from the robbers.
The victim was sent to the hospital for medical attention.
The three suspects are currently in police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
