The Western North Regional Police Command has arrested five individuals suspected to be involved in a series of robbery incidents in Sefwi Bekwai and nearby communities.
The suspects — Iddrisu Abdalla (20), Abdul Rahaman Abubakar (21), Okasha Mohammed (19), Toffic Bawa (24), and Richard Gyapong (35) — were picked up during an intelligence-led surveillance operation in the area.
According to police, three of the suspects were intercepted while riding an unregistered motorbike. When they failed to stop at the Mpesiem Police snap checkpoint, officers pursued and arrested them.
Further searches at the suspects’ various residences led to the discovery of a backpack containing several talismans, a face mask, and finger rings, items believed to have been used in their criminal activities.
Preliminary investigations have connected the five individuals to a number of robbery cases recorded in the Bekwai enclave.
The suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with further investigations.
