The Ghana Police Service has foiled a planned robbery in Accra following an intelligence-led operation by the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) Headquarters in Accra.
The intelligence-led operation, carried out on Monday, 15th July 2025, followed credible intelligence that five armed men were lodging at a hotel in Labadi and planning to rob a foreign national at Cantonments.
While enroute to their target location in a Toyota Yaris vehicle, the suspects, detecting police surveillance, opened fire on the police team shooting one of our officers in the process.
The officers returned fire, injuring two of the suspects who were later pronounced dead at the Police Hospital.
The injured officer, who sustained gunshot wounds to his legs and underarm, is on admission, receiving medical attention and responding to treatment. Two pump-action guns loaded with ammunition, live cartridges, three mobile phones, talismans, and other items were retrieved from the scene.
A manhunt is underway to arrest the remaining three suspects currently on the run.
