Police intercept gang on Tutuka-Akrofuom road, arrest one
Obuasi Police disrupted a planned robbery on the Tutuka-Akrofuom road and arrested one armed suspect. This operation took place on August 3, 2025, after a swift response to a distress call from motorists.
When the police team arrived at the scene, they spotted a group of armed men attempting to flee into a nearby bush. The robbers abandoned two unregistered motorbikes and a machete during the escape.
The officers pursued the gang through the thickets and captured Pascal Yenkye. He sustained a leg injury while trying to escape on a motorbike. The police arrested him and placed him under guard for medical treatment.
Meanwhile, security agencies have launched a full-scale manhunt for the other suspects who managed to flee. Authorities believe the gang is behind a string of recent attacks in the area.
The Obuasi Divisional Command encourages the public to share any relevant information. This collaborative effort is crucial to ensuring safety across the region and holding all involved accountable.
Obuasi Police continue to demonstrate swift, effective action in the fight against organized crime. Their recent success further strengthens public trust in the region’s law enforcement efforts.
