The Ahafo Regional Police Command has arrested two people believed to be part of a robbery gang that carried out multiple attacks at Nkasiem on Tuesday, 2 December 2025.
According to a police statement, the gang attacked a gold buying company, a cocoa buying company, and also tried to break into the vault of the Asutifi Rural Bank.
They also seized two police rifles during the operation.
The suspects were armed with pump action guns and shot a man in the thigh during the attack.
The victim was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital at Hwidiem, where he was treated and discharged.
Police in a statement said, the arrests were made through an intelligence-led operation. A manhunt is currently underway to find the rest of the suspects.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has deployed a special anti-robbery team from the National Police Headquarters in Accra to support the Ahafo Regional Command in tracking down the remaining gang members.
The police assured the public that all members of the group will be arrested and prosecuted.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
