The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested three men suspected of being part of a robbery network operating in parts of Obuasi.
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.
The suspects, identified as Aziz Abubakar, also known as Romeo, Faraway Amari, and Patient Asare, were picked up during the coordinated operation.
Police retrieved 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.
According to a police statement, investigations have connected two of the suspects to the killing of three people at Breme near Bechem in the Bono Region in March 2025. Police say efforts are ongoing to track down other accomplices and retrieve additional weapons.
