Police in Kumasi have arrested
\ntwo of five gun-wielding robbery suspects believed to be behind a US$16,000
\ncash heist at Ohwim New Site in the Ashanti Regional capital.<\/p>\n

Bismark Fosu and George Boateng
\nare being held for the aggravated robbery in the September 29, 2019, holdup at
\na private residence with three runaway accomplices, in which the victim was
\ntaken hostage.<\/p>\n

Ashanti Regional Police
\nCommander, COP Kwasi Mensah-Duku, said the robbery gang also dispossessed the
\nvictim of one laptop and an unspecified amount of Ghana Cedis.<\/p>\n

On September 27, 2019, the
\nsuspects were said to have attacked a family at Abrepo, inside their apartment
\nwith guns and machetes, and succeeded in snatching a pump-action gun from them,
\nhe added.<\/p>\n

Briefing the media about the
\narrest, COP Mensah-Duku said the hoodlums broke into the victim\u2019s home around
\n3:30am through the back door and inflicted machete wounds on a male victim.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that the robbers
\nlocked up the couple in a closet and ransacked the entire apartment for cash,
\nbut got nothing.<\/p>\n

Two of the suspects were later
\narrested at Ohwim upon intelligence, and they admitted taking part in the two
\nseparate robbery incidents with three other accomplices who remained at large.<\/p>\n

The police chieftain stated
\nthat one of the pump-action gun and an industrial cutter were retrieved from
\nsuspect Bismark Fosu, during their arrest.<\/p>\n

They remain in custody, pending further investigations, he intimated. <\/p>\n
