The Upper West Regional Police Command has arrested two robbery suspects in connection with a robbery incident that occurred along the Tumu-Kowie road in the Sissala East District.
The suspects, identified as Seidu Muizu, aged 20 years, and Salifu Mutada, aged 22 years, allegedly robbed three persons at gunpoint and made away with an unregistered Apsonic motorbike on May 30, 2026.
Following a swift intelligence-led operation, the police launched an investigation into the incident, which led to the successful arrest of the suspects and recovery of the stolen motorbike.
Further investigations led to the retrieval of an unregistered Loujia motorbike believed to have been used in the commission of the crime. Both exhibits have been impounded to assist ongoing investigations.
Preliminary investigations gathered so far suggest that the suspects may be linked to a series of robbery activities that have recently terrorized residents within the Tumu area and its environs.
Police are therefore extending investigations to establish their possible involvement in other criminal activities reported in the district.
The suspects are currently in Police custody assisting with investigations, while efforts are underway to recover the firearm allegedly used in the robbery.
The Upper West Regional Police Command commends members of the public for their cooperation and encourages residents to continue providing timely information to support the fight against crime.
