Police Intelligence Unit Arrests Five Suspects Linked To Series Of Robbery Syndicates In Kasoa Enclaves.

The Police Intelligence Unit of the Central East Regional Police Command has arrested five suspects who were allegedly seeking to rent guns for a highway robbery.

The group is believed to have carried out five major robberies in Kasoa, Agona Swedru, and Millennium City in the Central Region.

The arrest followed a tip-off after one of the suspects, Bismark Amponsah, contacted a man in Kasoa claiming he needed guns for a robbery.

Unbeknownst to him, the man was an undercover police officer with the Central East Regional Police Intelligence Unit.

The officer arranged a meeting with Amponsah at an undisclosed guest house. During the meeting, the officer produced a gun from a bag and handed it to the suspect.

Amponsah took photos of the weapon and sent them to his accomplices via WhatsApp. When his colleagues expressed interest in the gun, police moved in and arrested the entire group.

The other suspects are Abdul Razak Ibrahim alias “Langa,” Michael Annor Baah alias “Money,” Razak Jibril alias “Salaala,” and Nana Yaw Bediako.

Police say two of the suspects are ex-convicts recently released after serving long sentences for robbery.

The suspects were arraigned before the Ofaakor Circuit Court and have been remanded into custody pending further investigations and to reappear before the court on 27/05/2026.
