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