The Ghana Police Service confirmed in an official statement that two suspects were taken into custody following a targeted operation in the Greater Accra Region. This law enforcement action was part of a broader tactical effort to address reports of highway robberies within the jurisdictional boundaries of the region.
During the arrest the police retrieved one locally manufactured pistol and several rounds of ammunition from the suspects. The Ghana Police Service reported that these items were seized as evidence for the ongoing investigation into the activities of the apprehended individuals.
According to reports from Citi Newsroom the operation was executed after a period of surveillance aimed at identifying criminal hotspots on major transit routes. The names and specific ages of the suspects have not yet been released to the public by the police administration as the inquiry continues.
A report from GhanaWeb indicates that the suspects are currently in police custody and will be processed for court appearances. The charges expected to be filed against the pair include robbery and the unlawful possession of a firearm according to the preliminary police report.
