In targeted operations in the area on April 21, 2026, the SOA team first arrested suspect Enoch Adoglo at Gavekope before nabbing suspect Cephas Aniwaa, a blacksmith who is believed to manufacture and supply the suspects with weapons.
A third suspect, David Adzinu, was also arrested.
A search conducted on them led to the retrieval of seven (7) single barrel rifles, five (5) locally manufactured pistols, one (1) revolver, sixty-four (64) rounds of ACP ammunition, eleven (11) rounds of AK-47 ammunition, four (4) rounds of 7.62 x 51 ammunition, four (4) live BB cartridges, eighteen (18) spent BB cartridges, three (3) mobile phones, and winding tools.
Further investigations identified one suspect, Mensah Kedzi, currently on the run, as a key suspect linked to the robberies, including one that occurred on April 3, 2026.
The police say efforts have been intensified to arrest him and other accomplices, identified as suspect Akakpo, an ex-convict and suspect Ageh.
