The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects believed to be part of a dangerous robbery network that has been terrorising parts of Obuasi in the Ashanti South Regional Police Command.
In a statement on Thursday February, 19, 2026, the Police reported that several hideouts linked to the gang were raided during an intelligence led operation at Mangoase near Pokurom.
According to the Police, the suspects identified as Aziz Abubakar, also known as as Romeo, Faraway Amari, and Patient Asare, were picked up during the coordinated operation.
As part of the operation, the Police confirmed the retrieval of a pump action gun with ammunition, machetes, a bayonet, combat boots, one 9mm round, and cash amounting to GH¢20,000.00, suspected to be proceeds of criminal activities.
The police noted that investigations have linked two of the suspects to the killing of three persons at Breme near Bechem in the Bono Region in March 2025.
The Service emphasized that efforts are continuing to identify other accomplices and recover more weapons.
