The Western Central Regional Police Command has apprehended two individuals suspected of planning to commit robbery near Asankragua in the Western Region. Mohammed Abdul-Salam, 28, and Karim Yakubu, 42, were hiding in a bush along a road section when spotted by police officers.
Upon noticing the patrol team, the suspects attempted to flee, prompting a swift pursuit that led to an abandoned mining site. They jumped into a muddy pit to evade capture but were eventually rescued and arrested by the police. A search of the suspects yielded one shotgun, three AAA cartridges, and a Nokia keypad mobile phone.
The suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations. No further details have been released about the potential charges or motives behind the suspected robbery.
