The Ghana Police Service has made a significant breakthrough in the investigation of the Mpohor gold shop robbery with the recovery of weapons, ammunition, clothing, and other related items.
During intensified anti-robbery patrols, officers from the Kuntanase District in the Ashanti Region intercepted a suspicious white Toyota Sienta along the Aputuoagya–Bekwai road. Upon noticing the patrol team, two men near the vehicle fled into the nearby bush.
A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed an AK-47 assault rifle, a locally made firearm, two loaded AK-47 magazines, additional ammunition, cowrie shells, a Huawei smartphone, identification documents, and various clothing items.
Police investigations have confirmed that some of the recovered clothing, including hooded tops and wellington boots, closely match those seen in CCTV footage from the robbery.
Authorities describe this recovery as a major development in the ongoing efforts to apprehend those responsible.
The Police Administration has praised the Kuntanase District patrol team for their alertness and assured the public that further analysis of the exhibits is underway as nationwide security measures are intensified to bring the suspects to justice.
