Armed robbers strike in Talwa

Armed robbers entered the offices and a store at Total filing station at Tarkwa and took away millions of cedis, on Sunday.

Three workers, who were beaten by the robbers are on admission at Tarkwa government hospital. The robbers, however could not break into the safe but they damaged it and broke the glass door of the store and after ransacking the offices, they indiscriminately fired gun shots to scare away the public.

A sales girl said while the workers at the filling station were sleeping, at about 2 am she heard a knock at the door. She said she saw a man wearing a mask and pointing a gun at one of the security men at the station.

Gripped with fear, she woke her other colleagues up and run into the station manager’s office. The two robbers broke into the store and demanded the keys to the safe and drawers where the sales are kept.

Mr. Phillip Sackey, the station manager said the amount and items stolen could be accounted for after stocks had been taken.
