The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested six suspects in connection with a series of alleged robberies and gang rape incidents in Juaso in the Ashanti Region.
According to the Ghana Police Service, the arrests were made on January 8, 2026, following an intelligence-led operation targeting a group believed to have been operating in and around the Juaso area.

Searches conducted at the residences of the suspects led to the retrieval of several items, including forty-nine mobile phone covers, a bayonet case, a green dress resembling a military uniform, and a photograph allegedly showing the leader of the group dressed in military-style camouflage. Police also impounded a Toyota RAV4 vehicle believed to have been used by the suspects during their operations.
According to police, the suspects admitted involvement in the reported cases during interrogation. Police have not disclosed the details of the alleged offences or the identities of any victims, citing the ongoing nature of investigations and the need to protect victims.
