The Ghana Police Service has announced that it thwarted a planned robbery in Accra.
According to the Service, the robbery was foiled through an intelligence-led operation conducted by the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) Headquarters in Accra.
A statement issued by the police revealed that the intelligence-led operation was initiated on Monday, July 21, 2025, following credible intelligence that five armed men were lodging at a hotel in Labadi and planning to rob a foreign national at Cantonments.
The Police stated that while the suspects were en route to their target location in a Toyota Yaris vehicle, they detected police surveillance and opened fire on the police team, shooting one of the 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 currently admitted and receiving medical attention, and is responding to treatment, according to the police statement.
Two pump-action guns loaded with ammunition, live cartridges, three mobile phones, talismans, and other items were retrieved from the scene.
Meanwhile, a manhunt is underway to apprehend the remaining three suspects who are currently at large.
