This was after they blocked the main Kintampo-Tamale road to facilitate their operation.<\/p>\n<p>They were said to be part of a group of seven robbers who embarked on a robbery spree that night.<\/p>\n<p>Superintendent Boampong said immediately the Benz Bus pulled up, the alleged robbers emerged from a nearby bush, where they were hiding, and ordered the passengers to get out of the bus.<\/p>\n<p>Just about the same time, a police patrol team which was escorting a number of vehicles from Buipe to Kintampo arrived at the scene. Upon seeing the police, the alleged robbers started to fire at them.<\/p>\n<p>The police quickly returned fire and the two were killed on the spot while the rest managed to escape back into the bush.<\/p>\n<p>He said the police could not pursue them in the bush because it was late in the night.<\/p>\n<p>Superintendent Boampong further mentioned that the police went back to the scene to comb for the other robbers the next day, but did not find them.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, no further arrest had been made since the incident happened.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0From Fred Tettey Alarti-Amoako, Kintampo<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> AK47 gun THE TWO suspected highway robbers who were shot dead during a shoot-out with the police on the Kintampo-Tamale Highway last weekend have still not been identified. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-480420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>2 Highway Robbers Killed.
