The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested three persons, including a woman, suspected of being part of a robbery network operating in parts of Obuasi.
The suspects were identified as Aziz Abubakar, also known as Romeo, Faraway Amari, and Patience Asare.
A press release issued by the Command and copied to the Ghana News Agency said the arrests were made during a coordinated operation.
“The arrests were made on February 15, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation at Mangoase near Pokukrom, where Police raided several hideouts linked to the gang,” it said.
The release said items retrieved during the operation included a pump action gun with ammunition, machetes, a bayonet, combat boots, one 9mm round and cash amounting to GH¢20,000.00, suspected to be proceeds from criminal activities.
