The Ghana Police Service has successfully foiled a planned robbery in Accra, following an intelligence-led operation mounted by the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) Headquarters.
The operation, conducted on Monday, 15th July 2025, was based on credible intelligence that five armed men were lodging at a hotel in Labadi and plotting to rob a foreign national at Cantonments.
While en route to their target in a Toyota Yaris, the suspects detected police surveillance and opened fire on the officers, injuring one officer in the legs and underarm. Police returned fire, injuring two of the suspects who were later pronounced dead at the Police Hospital.
The injured officer is currently receiving treatment and responding well.
Police recovered two pump-action guns loaded with ammunition, live cartridges, three mobile phones, talismans, and other items from the suspects.
A manhunt is underway to apprehend the remaining three suspects still on the run.
The Ghana Police Service has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring public safety and urged the public to volunteer any information that could aid in the arrest of the fugitives.
