Western Central Regional Police Arrest Robbery Suspects
The Western Central Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with a high-profile robbery incident at Wassa Afransie in the Western Region. The suspects, identified as Felix Adjei alias Africa, Emmanuel Kelvin, a Nigerian national, and Kofi Appiah alias Kesse, allegedly stole gold valued at GHS 199,000 from Mas Palasco Gold Buying Limited.
The robbery occurred on April 4, 2025, when Kofi Appiah, a company driver, and Emmanuel Adu were returning from Wassa Ayiem after collecting gold. Armed men reportedly emerged, firing warning shots, and commandeered the gold, two mobile phones, and an unregistered Toyota Corolla. The car was later found abandoned.
Police investigations led to the arrest of Kofi Appiah at his Wassa Akropong residence on April 21, 2025. His accomplices were also apprehended soon after in their respective hideouts. Authorities retrieved a Jojeff pump-action gun, a Calymm PDS pistol, assorted ammunition, and GHS 65,000 in cash, suspected to be proceeds from the robbery.
