The Ghana Police Service says two men have been arrested in connection with a robbery and carjacking incident at Mpatasie near St. Anthony Hospital in the Ashanti Region.
Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, Public Relations Officer of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), said, “The suspects, Issaka Jamal, aged 30, and Kwadwo Badu, aged 40, were arrested after attempting to flee from the police along the Ofankor–St. John’s stretch of the Accra–Nsawam Highway on 8th November 2025. One sustained a gunshot wound and the other minor injuries. Both are currently receiving treatment at the Police Hospital.”
She explained that the suspects and their accomplices attacked two occupants of an unregistered silver Hyundai Tucson (DV-5357-Z) at Mpatasie on 7th November, robbing them of GH¢120,000, three mobile phones, identity cards, work tools, and other belongings before escaping with the vehicle.
“The operation led to the recovery of the stolen Hyundai Tucson, GH¢5,900 in cash, a customized number plate marked ‘Congo-1-24,’ and other exhibits,” she stated, adding that the recovered items have been secured at the Police Headquarters.
