The Western Central Regional Police Command has confirmed the arrest of five armed robbery suspects linked to a failed robbery attack on miners at a mining site in Dompim.
The arrests come after one of the suspects, Akwasi Abban, was apprehended by vigilant workers during the foiled attempt. Upon his arrest, Abban reportedly confessed to providing critical information about the site to the robbery syndicate.
According to police reports, Abban revealed to the site foreman, Ebenezer Soore, that he had been working with a gang of accomplices to target the miners. His confession led to a swift investigation and the subsequent arrest of the other suspects: Elijah Arthur, also known as Possible; Elisha Arthur, also known as Skonzy; and David Agyarko, alias Big Man.
The three were picked up on 2nd June 2025 and have since been remanded into police custody after appearing before a court.
The fifth suspect, whose identity is yet to be disclosed, is currently assisting police with further investigations.
The Police Command commended the workers at the mining site for their bravery and swift action in apprehending Abban, which helped foil the robbery and led to the dismantling of the gang.
Investigations are ongoing, and authorities have assured the public of their continued commitment to clamping down on criminal activities in the region.
