Armed Robbers Attack Fishermen At Sea, Steal Seven Outboard Motors At Senya Bereku.
Armed robbers have attacked fishermen at sea at Senya Bereku in the Awutu Senya West District of the Central Region, firing warning shots and making away with seven outboard motors.
The incident occurred late last night when the armed men, reportedly using a navy-coloured boat, stormed the fishing grounds.
The attackers fired warning shots to scare the fishermen before seizing seven outboard motors mounted on different canoes.
According to eyewitnesses, the robbers operated swiftly, detaching the motors and fleeing the scene in a waiting boat painted in navy colours.
Meanwhile, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Awutu Senya West, Hon. Kalala Nyamekye Eghan, in an interview with Opanyin Darko, confirmed the incident and assured the victims of the Assembly’s support.
However, the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West, Gizzella Tetteh-Agbotui, stated that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has deployed the Marine Police to the area to protect fishermen and prevent further attacks.
