The Ghana Police Service says it has thwarted a planned armed robbery in Accra, following a well-coordinated intelligence-led operation by the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) Headquarters.
According to an official statement posted on the Service’s Facebook page, the operation was carried out on Monday, 15th July 2025, based on credible intelligence that five armed men were lodging at a hotel in Labadi and plotting to rob a foreign national at Cantonments.
While en route to their target location in a Toyota Yaris, the suspects reportedly detected the police surveillance and opened fire on the officers.
In the exchange, one police officer sustained gunshot wounds to his legs and underarm. He is currently receiving treatment in the hospital and is said to be responding well.
The police returned fire, fatally injuring two of the suspects, who were later pronounced dead at the Police Hospital. The three remaining suspects fled the scene and are currently being sought in an ongoing manhunt.
Authorities recovered two pump-action guns loaded with ammunition, live cartridges, three mobile phones, talismans, and other items believed to be associated with the robbery plot.
The Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to public safety and called on the public to support efforts in locating the remaining suspects.
