Suspected armed robbers have allegedly robbed the IBM fuel station at Pakyi NO2 in the Amansie West district of the Ashanti Region.
The armed men broke into their office, disconnected the CCTV camera, and destroyed the digital video recorder.
Speaking to the media in an interview, the director of the IBM fuel station, Mr. Kwabena Tawia, said five of their fuel attendants were assaulted.
He revealed that the attendants had their hands and legs tied while the attackers went to rob the station.
The security guard who was on duty was also attacked in the process, he noted.
The suspected robbers allegedly stole their money safe and other sums of money.
He appealed to the Ashanti regional police command to intensify their patrol in their area to protect them from criminals.
Some of the workers also complained of an increase in criminal activities in the area.
According to them, thieves and other armed individuals have been harassing and terrorising residents and business owners in the area.
Some others also allege that the armed men threatened to kill them if they failed to comply with their orders.
They made a passionate appeal to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akufo Damapre, to, as a matter of urgency, establish a police patrol team in the area.
According to the attendants, the lack of a police patrol squad has resulted in miscreants taking over the area’s nightlife.
