A swift response from the Obuasi Divisional Command of the Ghana Police Service to a distress call, foiled a robbery on the Tutuka-Akrofuom road in Obuasi and led to the successful arrest of one suspect.
Preliminary interrogations indicate that the Police team that responded to the distress call saw a gang of robbers who fled into the bush, leaving two unregistered motorbikes and a machete behind.
The Police pursued the robbers in the bush and arrested suspect Pascal Yenkye, who got shot in the leg while trying to escape arrest on his motorbike.
The injured suspect is currently receiving medical attention under police guard, while a manhunt is underway to arrest the other suspects on the run to face the law.
The Ghana Police Service continues to assure the public of its commitment to ensure security, law, and order across the country.
