In Fomena, Ashanti Region, suspected armed bandits broke into a cocoa stockpile, stole more almost GH₵1 million, and fled before police could stop them.
Around 6:20 PM on Thursday, the Agro Ecom Company Limited Cocoa Depot in Adansi Ansah was the scene of the crime.
In addition to the large cash haul, the four masked robbers, who were armed with AK-47 rifles, targeted the facility and stole cell phones and other valuables.
It was stated that the attackers shot at the District Officer’s GMC Terrain 2, registered GS 9576-22, during the crime.
The depot manager, who was driving the car, was unharmed.
The armed bandits ran into a nearby wooded area before police arrived, despite the fact that they were instantly alerted.
A joint squad from the police departments of Adansi Fomena and New Edubiasi has responded by beginning a thorough manhunt because they believe the criminals may be hiding in nearby areas.
Anyone with knowledge regarding the suspects’ whereabouts is being asked by the authorities to help apprehend them.
